Feel like I don’t have s clue

I feel all out of routine with my 6 month old due to what’s going on so wondering if people could give me some advice. Sorry such a long list but I really feel useless and I am doing a rubbish job.
He won’t sleep when not in the pram. So how can I get him to sleep in the house?

What should the daily routine be, he still seems to need three naps a day after around two hours awake.

I have just started weening but it is making me so stressed I cried today. I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing - I tried blending some steamed broccoli and carrots with a hand blender still was really lumpy as it all kept sticking in the blender. We are on week 3 but this week and last he has had a really bad cold and teething - looks like he could be getting his first tooth. As a result he is not always having as much of his bottle (1 or a little more oz less per feed) and hardly any actual food. Today I put him in his high chair and he screamed when I tried to give him some baby rice and carrots.

He cry’s a lot so I’m worried I’m not stimulating him enough what should I be doing in terms of play?
He screams when we put him to bed after his bath. Is there any ideas how to stop the bedtime screaming ? He does stop after about 10 minutes but nothing calms him.

I am still giving him a dream feed and nappy change at 10.30 I have to wake him to do this - is this wrong?

Apologies for the stupid questions I feel like such a rubbish mum please don’t judge me.

You’re doing a great job just getting up and carrying on each day; I think we all feel this way at the moment and my routine with my toddler DC is all over the place.
In terms of blending up veg are you adding either some milk or water to make it a bit smoother? I’d relax about the weaning; try him with a bit or with some soft finger food but if he isn’t wanting it then just try again the next day.
I’d keep the dream feed while he’s not having much milk in the day. You could see how he does without it but if it’s working then I’d keep it while other things are unsettled.
