I had my son on Sun and I am breastfeeding but I want to know if he's eating like he should be. He eats about every 3-4 hours and for like 2 hours at a time. I don't know how to do this I don't know if I'm doing it right or maybe he isn't getting enough i'm at a loss

It will even out as time goes by.  You both will be on a schedule very soon.  Good Luck with your baby.

Right now you need to feed on demand. Let him eat when he wants for how long he wants. To see if he is getting enough, do diaper counts. If he is having between 6-8 wet diapers a day, he should be fine. If you are really concerned, look up a lactation consultant in your area. They are awesome and can help alot. Good luck and congrats on the new baby!
