Hi .
It will be helpful if you try to wake up your baby while feeding by gently stroking the head or feet. 15-30 min is more sufficient .
The vomit is natural at this age but if it keeps on happening frequently, you can visit/book online session so we can assess the vomit .
Next Steps
Nothing to worry about, just try waking up during feeds, if needed consult physically

On an average babies will drink for 15 - 20 min. But you just check whether milk left over in that breast you fed. If no milk is there after feed in that breast and baby gaining weight and passing urine 6-8 times in 24hours it is normal.
