The problem should be with the breast and not with the baby. Please ask the Gynaecologist in the hospital where you had Caesarean.
The baby is 1900 gm only. It is possible that the baby remains hungry after a feed. It is better to give the baby a top feed after each time the baby takes a breast feed. There is no doubt that breastfeeding is the best feed. But the worst is to let the baby go hungry.
