Baby sleeps but doesnt eat?

My 4 months old baby started sleeping thru the night at about 2-2.5 months. I mean not 5 hours in a stretch, but literally sleeping from 10-11 pm til 7-8 am. That's a good thing. But once he started doing so I became worried that he was not eating enough.Besides that he is never hungry there's only so many feedings I can fit in his day. He always ate less than an average baby, but now it's starting to really bother me. At 4 months he only eats 4 times a day(every 4 hrs). 7oz in the morning, 6-7oz 2nd feeding, 4-5oz 3rd and about 5 last feeding. That's way too little for his age. he is far not a chubby baby but gaining weight ok(last check up 50percentile).But every time I have to force him to eat those 5 oz. Or squeeze milk right into his throat.(WHATEVER IT TAKES))))))))why isn't he eating?????He also cries when i feed him but i let him cry it out and eventually he would continue eating. I mean every feeding is a touchier!!! I don't even want to think what will happen when I start solids(((
