If your nipple takes on a slanted look, like a new lipstick, he probably has tongue tied and may need to have his frenulum clipped. Do you get a "blood blister" in the upper edge of your nipples? Some babies outgrow or acomodate for tongue tie but if it is severe, the frenulum probably needs to be clipped. All 3 of my kids had ti but the pain and shaping subsided by 10 days.
Or he may have a high palate and have a hard time getting the nipple back far enough in his mouth.
As well, it definitely sounds like you have a case of thrush. This can be quite painful to baby and cause the pulling off.
