Hello Tina,
Perhaps I am coming late to this party, but has anyone suggested that
this mother/baby pair might be struggling with a tongue-tie? They're
really easy to miss (or, in the case of the pediatricians in my
community, completely DISMISS, ugh) when the baby is gaining well and
mother's milk production is robust. The combination of a tight
frenulum plus a baby working to manage oversupply/forceful let-down
can, in my experience and observation, lead to some serious nipple
pain and damage.
Just thought I'd throw that out there in case someone else hasn't yet!
