Newborn sleeping too much

I know they're suppose to sleep a lot but today my 1 week old has slept way more than usual. She is still going number 1 & number 2 but she has only had 4-5 bottles (of breastmilk) since 6 this morning... It's now 9:30 at night. & whenever she wakes up she will be alert for a few minutes then falls asleep almost immediately. Is this cause for concern or am I just being a worried mama..?

Babies eat when they're hungry.  You can wake her up to eat,  but if she's not hungry. .. She's not going to eat.  
She has wet diapers, so that's good. My daughter slept so much as a new born.  Some babies are just good sleepers.

Growth spurt. As long as she's still eating that is. But growth spurts happen on day three a lot. She's probably gearing up for it.
