Catherine Watson Genna has suggested to check for 
tongue tie, short jaw, and shallow latch. Sometimes sucking only becomes 
painful as the baby develops more effective compensations for reduced 
tongue mobility.
   All good ideas.  I would also have the baby checked for an ear infection.  I have 
several times seen babies start tearing up mom's nipples when it hurts too much to 
move their jaw properly.
