10 week old suddenly sleeps a lot

My 10 week old son has so far not slept much during the day. But since last Friday, he's suddenly become very sleepy and less energetic during the day. When awake, he's cooing less and not as active during tummy time as before. Not vaccines related as we've already had those.

Feeds and nappies are normal and he sleeps well at night (4-5 hour stretches). No temperature, no rashes.

When I first noticed this (last Friday), I took him to the A&E, they did examinations and said all normal, he's just snoozing. Friend GP also eyeballed him and said he seems okay.

Yet I just can't help but worry as it's so unsettling seeing him so sleepy and less energetic...

Did anyone else see this?

Sleeps in the day are very normal at that age they go through growth and development spurts and need more rest. It is also very hot right now so we all feel a bit more sleepy.

As long as he is feeding and weeing like normal I wouldn't worry. If that changes then seek medical advice.
