Indian vaccination till date not recommended for lactating mother
But if you are Frontline worker or come in high risk group or frequently come in contact with covid patient
Take a personal call take a vaccine put baby on other food

As per latest guidelines vaccination in breastfeeding women is not contraindicated. Since you're not exclusively breastfeeding, you can take the vaccine.
