Weight gain is adequate and good
You have to exclusively breast feed your child till 6 months
However at present it is not necessary to feed your child in every 2 hours.
Practice feeding on demand OR in every 3.5 hrs would be sufficient
Next Steps
monitor weight in every 1 month

Usually you need to follow some cues given by your baby. Otherwise it is Usually 3 hourly and especially during night hours. Exclusive breastfeeding is very essential and it will provide multidimensional benefit to your baby. Weight of the baby is following normal trend.
