Has this mom had any nipple pain?  Are they pink? Do they turn white after
nursing?  I would bet that they do have yeast, and that the obvious
symptoms will show in a few days.  Typical latch on, latch off, is one of
the first signs I see.  Can she start some form of treatment, just in case?
 Acidophilus for her and baby, vinegar/water rinse to nipples, etc.  Also,
see if using a baking soda/water rinse for baby's mouth (don't allow him to
swallow) right before nursing helps with oral pain that comes with the
initial latch.
