Is it safe for lactating mothers to take the covid 19 vaccines available in India? Will it affect baby in any way? I have a 20 month old toddler who feeds at night.

According to GOI, in our country Covid vaccination is not indicated in lactating mother and pregnant lady. Better to avoid. In your case baby is already 20 month old, you can stop breast feeding and take vaccine.
