2 month baby sleep

Baby is 2 month 10 days old. Baby had good sleep pattern but for past 3 days the sleep has been disturbed and at night sleeps around 11 or 1 am and then sleeps for about 7-8 hrs with feeds in between. But in Daytime, overall sleep has been reduced to 4-5 hrs. That's also as very short naps like 15 -30 mins sometimes around 1-2 hrs. Baby is well fed, with good urine and stool output. She is active in wake time and only cries when she is unattended and during nights around 8 or 9 pm for the sleep. We have tried dim light and routine sleep place. Her pattern has been changed drastically.

3 month old feeding and urine output

I am concerned about my 3-month-old baby girl’s feeding and urine output. She generally latches well and stays on the breast for a long duration, but after a few minutes of active sucking, she mostly switches to comfort sucking. Earlier, her diapers used to be very heavy, but recently they have reduced to medium weight. I am worried this may indicate reduced intake. Additionally, due to warm weather, she sometimes sweats while sleeping if the AC is not on or the room becomes slightly warm. Please advise if this pattern is normal or if her feeding/hydration needs to be assessed. Also, she has started giving long stretch of sleep at night, sometimes waking up once for feed (4-5 hours) or sometimes she sleep through the night. Her birth weight was 3245 gms; discharge weight was 3004 gms and as of 23rd April, she weighs 5.2 kgs. She does have spit up issues; there are days when no spit up will happen and sometimes she will spit 3-4 times after a single feed.
