Entertaining baby?

My little girl is 5 weeks and is the exact same, she liked her swing at first but now cries, she looses interest so quick x
Out for a walk, looking for patterns, showing black and white cards, singing songs chatting, bath, sensory time, tummy time
My son always liked the black and white cards, or we have a sensory projector and he used to love looking at all the lights. Also loved his crib mobile. My daughter is a little fussier and it’s a bit hit or miss but she also likes the cards and the projector. A play mat with things that hang down x
My boy is 5 weeks and is the same. We only get five minutes of each activity. Five minutes on the floor and we do a crinkly toy/rattle (this is sometimes accompanied by me talking very loudly to him) and then do another five to ten minutes and we play music, he really enjoys us singing and dancing. Then another five minutes of him just looking at himself in the mirror. He hates contrast cards, those he cries immediately… but all of this is in between the fussing, being picked up and being fed. And at some point he falls asleep and I wear him because he refuses to nap anywhere but on me during the day.
Do people do the play time before or after feeding?
I do music class and sensory class and my baby has did his first swimming class
I put baby in bouncer or carrier if he doesn’t want to be put down and do things I need to do eg cleaning, running round after my toddler, watch tv etc :-)
