Fussy baby during feeding

Hi mummies, need some advice. My 13 weeks old baby has been extremely fussy and screams a lot during feeds the past week. He was fine previously and we didn't do anything different recently so have no idea why he's like that. We now take an hour to feed him because we keep trying to soothe him - change positions, burp him, walk around. He screams and cries even after burping. Anyone went through this before? Thanks!

My 2 mth old does this too. The mutiple reasons I have derived is that she is either gassy (needs a burp or fart), flow rate not to her liking, milk temp not right, no longer hungry or tired and wants to sleep instead of feed. There is never a standard reason that causes her fussiness so everytime is a guessing game.

my girl does arch her back but i am not force feeding her. she will gladly take a bottle but not always willing to latch. wow, 3 months and teething already! if my LO starts teething and bites me, that would be the end of my breastfeeding journey.
