I have a mom with that too -- third baby, excruciating pain with all three
of them. Nothing could be found -- no infection, no nothing. Went to a
derm -- she couldn't find anything. No tt, posterior or otherwise (though
I didn't see her w/ first two babies) she said there was not and the babies
were checked for it. First two babies also had CST with no results in
terms of nipple pain. Mom denies sexual abuse of any kind. No reynaud's. No
hx yeast for mom or baby. Good asymmetric latch on this baby.
Just seems quite odd (to say the least) that this has happened with all
three babies. And yes, she can't tolerate shower water beating down on them.
They are always tender during lactation -- but not during pregnancy,
periods or lovemaking. And she tans, she doesn't burn.
Pumping hurts too, even on minimum and with olive oil otherwise she would
pump and feed EBM.

Mother with chronic nipple sensitivity
I'd love to see what happens in the baby's mouth on ultrasound before
blaming it all on maternal hypersensitivity. We've seen all kinds of
distortions in our study, including a baby who bent the mom's nipple to
a 90 degree angle during sucking! The big red flag here is that there is
more pain on the initial latch, which usually means the grasp is not
quite right, even if it looks okay from the outside.
The other thing I'd look at is if there is a chronic low-grade infection
of the nipple that could be ramping up the pain.
