This was one of my first thoughts. I passed along some information about that this morning. And suggested block feeding.

Some things to try--
chiropractic adjustment
Block nursing-- mom nurses exclusively on one side for a 4 hour block, then switches sides. This is uncomfortable at first but it can correct the foremilk/hindmilk imbalance that ECingMama posted about.
Lactation consultant. Bad latch doesn't always hurt and latch could be contributing to foremilk/hindmilk imbalance.
I'd also check for tongue tie.
I'd see if mom can get tested for food sensitivities.
At a minimum, I'd encourage mom to go completely dairy free for 30 days. Wheat free would be second but if she can do both, that might help.
She could try a probiotic for babies, like this one https://florastor.com/florastorbaby/...20Infant%20BMM

I will pass along the checking for latch and toung tigh they are fairly close to Albany, where there is a great Dr to deal with that.
I will pass along the mom getting tested, and the baby probiotic.
This mom has 3 under 3 for another 4 or 5 months so she is fairly overwhelmed, she is also recovering from Covod that she had while delivering the baby almost a month ago, I don't know how much brain space she has to try to change her diet.

That is encouraging. When early bird was little her Dr told me there wasn't any way to test at all before 6 and that they weren't really reliable untill closer to 10 or 12.
