Brief Answer:
nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is nothing to worry as soon baby establishes his sleep pattern and if he is not crying out loud then its alright to have altered sleep pattern after few days.
But still feed him regularly and take care of his regularity of passing urine and motion.
If everything is alright then nothing active needs to be done.

Brief Answer:
in case persists then visit pediatrician

Detailed Answer:
If his stomach gets gassy it will eventually affect motion frequency and consistency so stools will be very compact and also less frequent and obviously he will deny feeding.
So most likely its not gas problem and just a simple and normal change in feeding pattern.
But in case there is alteration in stool pattern or he cries a lot then visit a pediatrician at the earliest.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
adequate weight gain

Most important indicator is adequate weight gain of the baby viz is usually between 100-150 grams per week in initial days.
