My DD and DS2 had suction power to rival the best vacuum cleaner, and yes with them it hurt the first few sucks until let down and my oversupply kicked in (they would then come off and let milk go everywhere.)
It did get better as they got older.

I found it was from the stretching of the nipple, so once they had stretched it and there was milk flowing it would be fine. With dd it was 6 weeks until it subsided. I've been breastfeeding ever since so luckily no second time round for me

it happened with me at the start too but really started to ease as dd got more efficient at drinking.
