Could be positional. Older babies pulling back on the nipple. I've seen this fixed by encouraging mom to go back to reclining somewhat and making the baby come to her. Nursed my tongue-tied child over three years but always laid back to prevent damage. And it worked.

Subject: laceration in center of nipple
what are your thoughts on mothers who developed laceration in dead center of their nipple with no other trauma to nipple? I have had two cases over this last week both with babies that are 11 months old. One mother does look like she has symptoms of yeast as well although only area of damage is one line of laceration in center of nipple. Another mother I have only spoken with via email accounts that she has laceration in center of nipple with no other trauma, no signs of yeast. This mother feels so that may be due to new teeth from child..
