I would look at latch on and do the asymetrical latch with this baby. If 
mom had sore nipples, it can cause breast pain. The Avent is fairly 
narrow in the tunnel part where the nipple go if mom uses the soft 
plastic petal piece. Too tight on the nipple can compress it and cause 
pain, both nipple and possibly breast pain (guessing). If she is pumping 
with too much suction or too long of time, it can hurt. I have worked 
with lots of women who say someone (nurse, doctor, hospital LC) looked 
at her latch on and said it was fine but when I gave her proper latch, 
with the asymetrical or Australian method, then we cure the problem. 
Things are usually different with each baby, so reassure her on this 
matter.
