Is there any difference between "Bara" and "Enda"?

2.Mitt enda barn=My only child

Bara - Just/Simply/Only/Solely/Nothing more than
Enda - Only/Single/Solitary/Sole
They can be synonyms, but they are used somewhat differently:
Examples:
Jag ska bara äta lite först. - I'm only/just going to eat a little first.
Jag ska bara stanna över natten. - I'm only/just staying for the night.
Jag har bara ett barn. - I only have one child.
En enda sak. - One thing only.
Mitt enda barn - My only child.
Det enda jag bryr mig om... - The only thing I care about...
Bara en enda gång - Just one time (and one time only)

Bara from my take is only/just where enda is only in terms of the only one only/sole child
