Unable to settle baby

I feel I've tried everything to settle my baby over the last 5 weeks since I had him and nothing seems to work. I'm feeling down and like a failure as I'm unable to settle my own child so if anyone has any tips for settling a baby that very much hates to be put down, please let me know x
