Feeding pattern
My baby just competed 4 month...My baby only nurses only each breast for 2,3 mins and wants to move to the other I believe he is only getting foremilk and not the Hindmilk since 3 month now .. earlier first month his poop was mustard however once he stopped nursing on each breast for long time his poop is sticky and green since 2,3 months ... he also has gas issues and fussiness
.. urine output is normal baby's weight at north was 2.7 now is 5.4 ... is it ok if baby only drinks foremilk ? Will he get enough nutrients ?

Hi
Foremilk will satisfy the thirst only , so hind milk is needed to satisfy hunger.try feeding from one side, emptying the entire breast and then shifting to otherside .
As per the weight you mentioned seems like that is appropriate
Next Steps
if baby still continues to do the same ...you may try to express and give milk
Health Tips
massaging breast before feeding will make it easier for baby to suck out milk
