Crying murder during breastfeeding

Question

My one month old baby has been more fussy during breastfeeding these few days. She will cry even when my nipple is already in her mouth and she refuses to suckle. Or she will keep pushing away at my breast. Or even arching her back. I tried to calm her down before latching again but after a few sucks, she will cry again.What could be the issue? And what do I do? :(#firsttimemom #help

My baby used to be like that, because my milk flow was either too slow or too fast making it hard for her to drink. . Especially if she’s really hungry, it’s make her even more annoyed. Can try to hand express (to either slower down the flow or “start” up the flow) slightly before offering baby the boob.
