For sore boobs, tell her to get in the shower and let the warm water run on them for about 5 minutes. When she's done nursing, use cold packs (frozen bags of veggies work great)

For sore nipples: Buy some lanolin. Lansinoh is the best brand. You don't need to rinse it off. And if they get really, reall bad, alternate the lanolin with polysporin oitment. Again, that doesn't need to be rinsed off before nursing.

If she has any questions at all, she can ask me. I don't know if you still have the links I sent you, so I would totally advise both of you to check out http://www.kellymom.com

The first three weeks are the hardest, but you'll both feel great if she keeps it up. Tell her to drink lots and lots of water, that really helps.
