Surely you can feed the baby. No problems. Your sister can apply masse cream on her nipple and wash it before trying to feed once she get relief. If you need more answers you can ask me privately.

Nipples getting injured because of faulty latch. Push the baby's head little closer to breast, so that nipple goes beyond gums of baby, there by putting pressure on areola and resulting good flow of breast milk. Use nipple shield for a while till injury heals. Hope this helps.
