Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it might be a boil, or some other bacterial infection, at that place at the back of the head.
The first day also he had the fever, and weakness of the fever, due to the infection, that might be the reason for sleeping.
If the lump is still there i advise you to consult a neonatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
