Extremely sleepy baby

My baby boy is 7 weeks old and still sleeps around the clock. He wakes to be fed every 3-4 hours and has the occasional 45mins-1 hour of awake time then he's off to the land of nod again. He smiles at us and shows some interest in his surroundings when awake, looks at toys, objects etc. but usually stares at nothing or a plain wall. he's not very interested in looking at us for any great time yet though. The HV said we gave to help him develop his gaze - but how when he's always asleep?! Is this excessive sleeping normal?

He is other wise very well. Gaining weight, eating well, lots of wet/dirty nappies and no temperature.

My daughter and son were like this when they were tiny - enjoy it while it lasts! Did you mention at 6 week check? If not bring up at his first jabs. Oh and sleep as much as you can ... mine seem to have gone off the idea!
