Hi Pat,
You are describing nipple compression.
Perhaps a good latch is not enough with this baby. Perhaps he needs a
perfect, asymmetrical latch to not hurt mom.
This is often true of babies with short jaws and short tongues. They
use a lot of pressure. They also tend to be more likely to cause nipple
vasospasms for that same reason.
