Change in sleeping patter suddenly

Question

Asked for Female, 0 Years

My 2.5 month old daughter has started sleeping a lot from the last 2-3 days. Otherwise she is feeding properly, is awake for 2/3 hrs in the day and evening, is playing though less than before and has ample wet diapers. Is it due to any growth spurt or is this normal?
