BFAR moms are at increased risk for nipple vasospasm.  Suggest treatments as 
for vasospasm.  Have Mom try the technique described by Diana West, IBCLC 
(noted BFAR expert) in the 3d ed'n of Hoover/Wilson-Clay's BF Atlas at p. 
69:  "Some women report that they can stop the vasospasm if they push blood 
back into the nipple..  This is done by squeezing the base of the nipple and 
pushing forward [Fig. 164].  Restoration of blood flow to the nipple then 
seems to stop the painul, buring sensation."
