Regarding weight gain & low milk supply

Question

Asked for Female, 0 Years

My baby is 5 month 10 days old. I have checked his weight on 30th June , it was 7 kg & on 12th August I checked his weight it is 7.9 kg. Is weight gain normal according to age because in past weight gain was around 1200 gram per month. I feel that my milk supply is decreasing as baby asks for feeding just after 5 minutes of breastfeeding, sometimes he is hungry, takes breast milk & suck it for 5 minutes then starts to cry, again & again he repeats same & starts to scream at last. How can I increase milk supply?
