Sleeping too much not waking for feeds :/

Hi my 13 week old has started sleeping loads in the day and going way too long between feeds! Thing is he just wants to be with me all the time during the day, as soon as I put him down he cries (stops breathing and goes blue) until I pick him up again, his blue breath holding has been checked over and Doctors aren’t worried, but I’m concerned that he would happily sleep on me all day and not wake up for a bottle, he will drink one if I wake him but surely he should be waking up himself! He is fine at night, I can put him in his cot at 10-11pm and he will go to sleep himself and wake up around 6am. Not sure what’s going on with him during the day? :/

hi, first of all do not worry, it sounds like you have a content baby, my first DS was like this, had to be woken every 3 hours for a feed, he would quite happily guzzle it down and go straight back to sleep, this was the same for my DD she was worse only every drinking 1oz every 6 then 4 hours, neither would dream feed, then my 2dd arrived and boy oh boy he was nothing like the other 2, screaming for feeds every 2 hours day and night :) what im trying to show is babies are all different, as long as he is happy, healthy and gaining weight all is good xx
