Problems with bottlefeeding 15 week old

Hi. need some help....

This is my second baby (eldest nearly 3 and she fed with ease). My 15 week old is becoming harder to feed. He had pyloric stenosis - had surgery at 5 weeks - this is where the stomach closes and food cannot get in and as a result very forceful projectile vomit. However he is now cured. He fed well after op but now he has 5 bottles of 7oz a day (sleeps all night from 7pm-6.30am - so pleased with that) but he spends all day snacking on his bottles. He takes 2oz, wants a rest, another 2oz - change his nappy,. another 2 oz - and then give up! It can take over 2 hours for this all to happen, then we start again. He is so placid in every other way.

I think about weaning - but feel it's to early.. but it's getting harder.

Help!!!
