Baby fighting naps

Hi mummies, my 5mo baby always fight naps. She shows tired cues but when we want to pat her on bed or carry her to pat her, she will cry murder or push away. It takes awhile to calm her down before she falls asleep. Is this normal? How can I help her to go to sleep happily, without struggle? I feel like I’m not doing things right and causing my baby to cry so much 😢

Well you can have white noise, lullaby or let her be all tired then put her to bed. Alternatively, milk/latching. That helps them sleep well. My #2 do fight naps esp when she sleepy. Ill give her milk then pat her then make her sleep afterwards.
