Baby not gaining enough

Question

Hi Ladies! My LO is 5 months and is pure breastfed. She can take around 5-6 bottles of 150mL of breastmilk from 7-7, when Im at work. and breastfeed on demand right after. On weekends, i nurse her. She usually wakes once MOTN but can only take around 50-70mL of milk.Just had a doctors check and she said that the babys weight and growth is a bit low. 😓 although just a week ago she did had a flu. But the weightlost, if any, wouldnt be that much,  right?How do you guys usually do about this? Do you give them any supplements?I thought she was latching/feeding well because her diaper output is usually within 6-8 times per day with 2-4 times of pooping. 😓 Now, i started worrying. Any advice?

My daughter is also fully breastfed and although every single check up her heigh and weight is always on the lower percentile, she’s perfectly healthy otherwise and doctor also said it’s alright. Even till now at 28m, she’s also on the lower side compared to same age peers.
