My baby is fighting sleep every single time she needs a nap. I feel like I'm in a endless cycle of feed change nappy and then she content until I try put her to sleep and then cries. I can't put her down to sleep I can't transfer from the sling I can't go out or do anything coz all she does is cry from being soo tired. It's got soo much worse this week not better.
I have tried going into bedroom and playing white noise I have tried swaddling nothing works but her being in the sling

She’s 5 weeks old? This is normal! She won’t want to be away from you at all for a few more weeks yet. And naps are harder than night sleep even when they’re older, I still contact nap my 5 month old, otherwise he doesn’t get enough sleep. Let her contact nap, it’s really healthy for her. I didn’t leave the house much until 10-12 weeks, there’s no rush to go and do stuff, hunker down and cuddle her in these first weeks!

Sounds pretty normal as PP says. Mine will still only contact nap at 12 weeks and has actually got harder to get to nap as time has gone on. Will she sleep in the moving pram? Can you go for walks or run errands with her in the sling?

Enjoy the cuddles while they last as long as you have some support with the chores.

No doesn't like the pram or swing she only likes sling so just do everything with her in there.
