Excessively sleepy baby

My baby has been excessively sleepy since birth. My baby only wakes up to eat every 2 hours but other than that they just sleep. Everything I have seen says babies sleep a lot but about 14-17 hours is normal? Is my baby sleeping too much/ should I be concerned?

Why won’t my baby sleep??!

He’s been up for over 2 hours now in the middle of the night, wide awake it seems. At times he’s yawned and almost gone back to sleep, to then 10 min later wake up and sit in his cot.
