Lulu how old is she? Often when a bub is sucking then pulling off and crying it can be a reflux issue (like say acid reflux, which feels similar to our heartburn) But if she is say 6months old and never had reflux problems maybe it's something different.
It sounds very similar to what my DS did at about the same age. I was so freaked out I took him to a lactation consultant. She told me he was tired not hungry & taught me how to look for tired signs. We used a dummy for his comfort sucking and rocked him to sleep instead. His tired signs have never been obvious though. I usually based it on time instead.
What time of the day does she fuss? It could be that she is overtired, or that the milk is not flowing fast enough and she is getting frustrated.
It could be a developmental phase when she is just a bit fussy in general, which should pass soon if this is what is happening.
Has AF returned recently? The hormones can affect the taste of the milk, so this could also be a reason that she is fussy. Also - have you changed your diet or anything else about your usual routine? This is something else that could be affecting her behaviour.
Have you called the ABA? They could probably offer you some more suggestions.
