Yes you can get tooth extracted but give some gap like 3 to 4hours for feeding baby after taking medicine

Hello!
Yes it's safe!
Proper history and safe medicine for child and mother can be give post extraction, if pain is unbearable. As medication alone will give temporary relief

As a new mom you may be wondering if any dental procedure is safe for your baby during breastfeeding. The answer is yes! Routine dental treatment is quite safe, and many dental emergency procedures are also possible. Just give the brief medical history to your dentist.

If it is possible to avoid extraction, then definitely should avoid it. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics and wait for atleast till the baby is 6 months old.
