Baby weight gaining is slow

My baby weighed 3 kg at birth. After 1 month, her weight increased to 3.8 kg, and by 4 months (on February 13th), she weighed 5.050 kg. The doctor expressed concern that her weight gain was slow and recommended supplementing breast milk with formula milk. One week later, on February 20th, her weight increased to 5.220 kg. I'd like to know if her current weight gain is satisfactory.
