Baby Not Responding, Not Moving Eyelids For Few Seconds. Doctor Consultation Required?

my baby boy is now 3 weeks old , and this strange thing i observed couple of times . when we are holding our baby , for around 20-25 seconds he didn't moved his eye lids , he didn't moved his body , and then we made some sounds and shake his body he suddenly started respond back .
