Brief Answer:
No need for swine flu vaccine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Your baby can have more solid foods especially the ones you eat routinely in your house. The only things to be avoided are excess spices, honey, cow milk and nuts.

He needs around 3 meals(1 large bowl) well seperated by 4-5 hours. In between meals you may give him small snacks( small bowl) 2-3 times in a day along with 3-5 times breastfeeding or formula feeds. As before the amount can be increased on demand and should be fluctuant needs. You may give him the following:
-Cereals in the form of porridge, soft chapati in very small pieces with veggies and pulses, rice with dal ( grinded), curd rice, idli, dosa etc
- fruits cut into long pieces which he may hold and eat.
- other snacks such as home made French fries, breads, biscuits etc which he will enjoy eating with his own hands.
- veggies, curd, cheese

You may try innumerable other recipes which are soft to eat and healthy.

As far as swine flu vaccine is concerned, it's not of any proven benefits for normal infants in XXXXXXX So avoid it.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
