Answer

hii...➡️ if u have help at hime u can opt for baby led weaning..  But its too much mess to clean so staying alone i cudnt do with my son.
➡️Buy a high chair or use car seat if u have one. Bib is a must.  Train ur baby from day one. 
➡️never  feed while running around. Teach ur child to sit in one place n eat.  U will thank yourself for this 1 year down the line. 
➡️ DO NOT FORCE FEED EVER.
➡️ use MLM chart n recipe blindly. It takes out half work  of deciding what to feed
➡️ if there is some one at home let them feed ur baby once a routine is set. So u get free time n child knows other members will feed him. If u stay alone involve ur hubby as n wen u can especially on weekends
➡️ for about month n half dont think of filling his tummy While weaning. Idea is to get him used to all textures n taste in this time
➡️ if u stay alone try n prepare food just before u know baby wil get hungry..  I took a while on this.. As my child has very erratic sleep schedule.. 
➡️ some days ur baby will eat all wat u prepare and on some days just couple of spoons.  Dont be disheartened..  It happens with me even now at 9 months. Let baby decide how much they want to eat. 
➡️ on some days  u will be able to feed him all four meals on some days just two cos u cudnt manage to cook on time.  And dont feel bad about it.. Its perfectly ok.  U are doing best for ur baby
➡️ always have some baby friendly dry snacks like kurmura,  makhana which can be given as TP once in a while.  Keep in transparent jar.  Kids get attracted to eat those. 
➡️ wenever introducing new food do it before 2 pm. So if baby develops indigestion or gas u dont spoil night for urself n baby. N its easier to manage things in daytime always
➡️ in all fruits add a pinch of elaichi powder and all veggies n pulses a tiny drop of ghee, haldi n pinch of hing. Ur baby will never get gas and this adds taste to food.
➡️ if baby is awake wen u have ur meals make him sit next to u n give something  a little bit from ur plate always.  My baby leaned to eat faster cos of this..  Infact he is such a bhukkad now if i dont feed from my plate i cant eat at all as he will keep shouting 
➡️ salt, sugar and animal milk to be given or not discuss with ur paed n take  a call..  Just remeber if u do use,  use it in very little qty
➡️ also try n add ur usual food after 8th month slowly. Idea is to shift baby to family food by 1 year
➡️ limit pureed food upto 8th month..  Then slowly start hand mashed food..  U can start earlier too..  Get them out of pureed food as early as possible
➡️ NO PROCESSED FOOD TILL 1 YEAR COMPULSORY. n even aftet that only as last resort wen u cant manage anything else.
