Its not normal, she should be comfortable and latching on very well at this point. There could be a couple things going on but hard to tell without seeing in person. Possibly nipple confusion, or strong letdown. I would contact a lactation consultant. They have free consultants at ur local hospital and WIC also. Good luck
