Baby refusing feeds

Hi,
I have a 14 week old LB, he was born at 35+3 so we're corrected to ~10weeks. He has been sleeping through for about 3 weeks now, he is formula fed and we feed him at 7 when we put him to bed then between 10 and 11 pm when we go to bed and then he will sleep til between 6 and 7am. Issue is when we get him up to feed him first thing he will perhaps take 1oz sometimes 2 and then is not interested at all in feeding any further. If you're persistent to try and get him to take more he'll just vomit. He will then happily last 3-4 hours before he is hungry again and then take what I'd call a full feed - 5oz. Any ideas/advice? Or am I worrying about nothing? He is gaining weight appropriately and no concerns otherwise.
Thanks

Congratulations on your baby - and on him sleeping through the night! It sounds like you're doing really well.
Maybe he's just not really hungry when he first wakes up.
Give your Health Visitor a ring tomorrow or go to the clinic for a chat & some reassurance. Don't worry that you're bothering them, you're not - the HV is there to help & give advice, & better to speak to her than worry.
