Breastfeeding /baby poo affected by what I eat or breast engorgement?

My 7 week old baby has had light green poos for over a week and then today has done one half green/half grey.

I thought it was a milk issue- I expressed a few times a week ago and have had slightly swollen breasts since that unfortunately seem to swell up again soon after feeding.
Also baby has also started to only eat for 5-10 mins max in the last 3 days after having 30 min feeds before. Could this be linked?

Is it likely to be a milk issue or could it be something else and any tips on how to solve? We've had more sick in the last few days too including a couple of projectile incidents that we've never had before.
And...
I started on the mini pill around when the green poo began, as well as pumping then.

Today I also had a glass of wine and couple of cups of normal tea- I normally have decaf. Could this make poo go grey?

Quite a few things going on so can't work out what's best to help!
