Vomiting and choking is not a good sign for any baby. Get an xray done to see the position of the button and consult a ENT surgeon if the button is visible on X-ray. Better be safe than sorry.
Next Steps
Make sure you burp the baby every time you feed it as it reduces the vomiting episodes.
Health Tips
Hope the button is no more in the baby

If he is absolutely fine with no symptoms, then continue to breastfeed him and examine stools for the button. You could probably wait for 24 to 48 hours.
Next Steps
In case he develops any symptoms like nausea or vomiting or breathing difficulties, or he doesn't pass the button out in his stool, take him to a health facility because he will probably need an Xray to locate the button.
