5 month old cranky, not hungry, and sleeping a tonne

For the past week my 5 month old has been extremely cranky while he’s awake. He’ll be entertained for about 2 minutes by something then just starts up this low level grizzling until I find something else to his liking, and repeat. He’s also been cracking it when I try to give him a bottle (EFF) and arches his back and cries. He’s not getting as much milk in 24 hours as he previously was.
He has also just started sleeping through the night, and is napping for sooo long during the day. Currently capping it at 4 hours but he could sleep more.
Not complaining about all the sleep obviously but just concerned what’s with all the changes. Not sure if it’s related but he had a UTI a couple of weeks ago which was treated with antibiotics.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I’m worried something is wrong with him.
