Baby dropped percentiles EBF

Looking for insight/advice/similar stories because I am just overwhelmed

My 3.5 month old dropped to the 4th percentile at her 2 month well visit. Previously hovered around 20th-23rd %. At her last 2 weight checks (3 months & 3.5 months) she is now in the 1%. She only gained 2oz in the last 2 weeks

She is exclusively breastfed & has always fed for short periods of time. Around 5 minutes & only on one breast. I have a very overactive letdown & at our weighted feed last week, she consumed 3oz in less than 5 mins from 1 breast.

She has green, mucusy stools often & has even had some blood specks in her stool. I am completely dairy/soy free & have stopped even eating things processed in the same facilities as milk and soy ingredients. This has been for 2 weeks now.

She is such a happy baby. She is completely content, not fussy. Sleeps well. Eats as much as she wants & then goes about her day.

I really don’t know what to do. Doc said if weight gain doesn’t pick up in the next 2 weeks, she will strongly suggest that I supplement with formula. Please help!
