As specifically mentioned by colleagues that the weight is appropriate, I would like to add upon the requirements of adjuncts already given.
1. Calcium drops have been added as your baby was born less than 2.5 kgs, your calcium drops would be fortified with VITD3 which is absolutely an indication till complete one year of age.
2. Iron drops are again a necessity starting 6 weeks of life and should continue atleast 3 months to prevent anaemia in future.

Ideally, your baby should gain 30grams per day for 1st 3 months.
So as per the calculations, weight gain is good.
