low appetite and increase sleep

Hi My baby is 6 weeks. In the past 24 hours his intake has reduced alot ( he is on formula S26). Not only that but he is sleeping more than usual. Is this normal? Anyone came across this?

Babies go through a growth spurt between sometime between 4-6 weeks old and a mental leap around 5 weeks old. During these periods they may feed/sleep more or less than usual, amongst other behavioral changes.
