Naznin said, "Baby latches on perfectly."
Actually, the baby does not latch on perfectly.  If he did, he would not be
damaging mum's nipple.  Only mothers know if babies are well attached.  If
the baby is hurting mummy, then the baby is not perfectly attached.
Have you tried baby-led attachment or breast-crawl?  Have you investigated
the possibility of torticollis or of a positional turn/asymmetric muscle
tightness owing to intrauterine position or birth trauma?  You can assess
this by placing naked baby on his belly.  He should bring both hands up
under his chest and push up off the floor or table.  Other evidence of a
positional turn include a banana-shaped spine, unwillingness to turn his
head to one side (or a strong preference for the other).  Treatment is much
the same as assessment - tummy time.  Tummy time can be more pleasant if it
is tummy time on mummy's chest rather than on the floor.
Some mothers find CST or physiotherapy helpful.
