If this is all of a sudden, you need to make sure she doesn't have an infection in her teats like mastitis making the milking process painful. The mild should be clear and not cloudy, and the teats soft and pliable, not rock-hard or extremely swollen. If she is new to milking, go slow, be gentle, and give her time to get used the the process. Good luck!
