I would suspect pumping is hurting because she needs larger flanges. Often
inverted nipples are wider than average. Have her lubricate the flange
where her areola rubs against it.
ALso, if there are open wounds around the "base" of the nipple, wearing
shells can help them heal by secondary intention faster than closing them up
in a breastpad.
