14 day old baby with 50% vomiting is worrisome. For now try positioning head up while feeding and post feeding burping. If still not subsides give perinorm drops 0.5ml thrice a day for vomiting.
Next Steps
If still persists a usg abdomen recomended after consultation.

Vomitting is common in a newborn you have to burb him properly and feed him frequently. If he is passing urine more than 10 times and sleeping between feeds then your feed is adequate. If you have a weighing scale you can stand with him and check the wt if he has gained the birth wt or crossed it then don’t worry
