Babies go through spells.  Sometimes they eat you out of house and home, sometimes they sleep their lives away.  Sleeping is very good for a baby, so don't worry about that.  If he is not crying or sick, then he is okay.  When he gets hungry again, he will resume eating like there is no tomorrow.  Wait until he starts crawling around and refuses to eat.  That's really fun.
