growth spurt ?

So the last week or so DS has been non-stop nursing.  As in, eat for an hour+, nap for 15-45min, start again, non-stop nursing.  He did go about 4-5 hours between feedings at night, though (thank goodness!).  Then he stopped some of the naps, and would stay awake for 3-4 hours at a time nursing and pooping, then napping for a bit, still sleeping well at night.  Yesterday and today, though, he's been pretty much sleeping all day, only nursing for 20-30min. every 3 hours-ish. 

Is this just the sleeping (and growing) part of the growth spurt?  I've been trying to keep him awake--doing tummy time, tickling him, singing and reading with him, all to no avail.  He's also had a stuffy nose, but only at night--it's fine during the day.  Should I just let it go and be thankful he's finally sleeping again?  I just worry every time his routine changes significantly... Need to stop that Stick out tongue

    Personally, I try to follow LO's lead, up to a point.  During the day I make sure he eats every 3 hours at least, for about 10 mins a side.  If he wants to sleep away the day, so be it.  I'm finding LO changes his schedule every couple days.  HTH
