Rob,
Look at the baby's latch.  If it is shallow, that destabilizes the
tongue and the baby will compensate by increasing jaw compression.  In
other words, he will bite strongly, causing nerve compression and nipple
ischemia.  Check out the archives under nipple compression syndrome, and
teach mom how to help the baby latch more deeply.  Also look at the
possibility of dermatitis secondary to the topical treatments.
