Ann,

Do you have access to Medela's glass pump flanges?  It's rare that mom's need 
them but I currently have 2 moms who were experiencing pain with pumping 
(proper suction level) even with the xl size (30 mm) flanges so tried the glass 
ones and are using them with great success now as far as no pain and increase in 
supply for one, able to maintain while working for the other.  One mom had 
obvious nipple strangulation from pump while the other has large nipples that 
looked like they fit well with 30 mm flanges, but she found that only the glass 
was comfortable.  Most women have a large portion of breast pulled into the 
flange so maybe your mom with bleeding nipples would then kind of bypass having 
flange pull her nipples at all.
