Mine does this every now and then, seems to then be super hungry in the night (joy!) But honestly don't worry, unless he doesn't get wet nappies and doesn't have more in the night or tomorrow. How about poops?

@Megan no poo today but one yesterday morning and he didn’t wake last night for a bottle which isn’t uncommon so that’s why I’m worried as he only drinks in the day just worried with him getting dehydrated xx

Check his soft spot to see if it’s sunken in and, if needed, go to Urgent Care/A&E. I’m having a similar issue with my girl and it’s triggering my PPA something chronic. However, I have seen multiple threads about babies our kids ages who are all doing similar at the moment. Maybe it’s a leap thing?

Maybe tonight he will feed more. So he's over 24hrs of no poos, not uncommon but maybe his tummy hurts a bit. Just keep an eye but you'll know he's dehydrated if there is no wet nappies. If that happens then definitely call 111 but otherwise he will be okay xxx
