Oh yes, that smacking sound is the cause!  And certainly 10 days of a  lousy 
latch can wreck a mom's nipples...just a few days is plenty.  Pumping  to 
"rest" the nipples will help, but the latch will also have to be fixed or it  will 
go right back to painful, bad latch.  Checking the numerous archives  on the 
asymetrical latch will be helpful also.  The mom might also benefit  from some 
of Dr Jack's APNO if her nipples are looking infected. Good luck and  glad 
this momma is seeing you!
