First, I would definitely try not to schedule your child's feeding times. At this age, let him eat on demand if you can... anytime he's hungry, make him a bottle.
Second, is he still have dirty and wet diapers? You need to be vigilant about keeping track of how many wet diapers he has (he should have at least 6-8 a day), especially if he is on strike. Having s dehydrated baby is a situation you DO NOT want to be in at all.
Third, is he sick? Running a fever? Tugging at his ears? Some babies will refuse to eat if they are feeling ill.
To be safe, I would definitely go to your pediatrician's office.

Don't do anything drastic like changing his formula, he may just not be feeling so great, I would take him to the pediatrician to check his weight and discuss his eating habits. she can give him an all over check to rule out any kind of infection... As long as his is having several wet diapers and 2-4 stools a day then he is getting enough to eat and drink... I would still go see the Dr. just to discuss what is going on with him...

take him to the doctor there has to be a reason for him not wanting to eat it shouldn't be the type of formula but if you do change it be ready for his gi system to run full blast for about a week
