Baby straining & squirming during feeds

Hi, just wanted some advice as a first time parent. During feeds (80% of the time) my baby flaps her arms, moans, strains her face and squirms excessively during a bottle feed? When I stop to burp her she stops but when I continue to feed she again knocks the bottle flapping her hands and moving her head side to side squirming etc? Even though she is hungry? And I don’t understand why, but every time I feed her it’s a figh. I’ve tried a fast flow teat thinking maybe she’s frustrated with the flow of milk but this doesn’t seem to work. Any suggestions as to why she’s doing this would be great :)

My daughter did this only when she was tired. So it was like she couldn't remember how to feed. Could be that as they're tired 80% of the time haha!
