The best thing to do for this mom is to teach her an asymmetric latch,
and to tell her that the nipples should be perfectly comfortable once
her milk "comes in". If she is not totally comfortable by about day 4
or 5, then she can start giving some bottles and weaning gradually. I
would encourage her to make her decision then.
