As per the recent recommendations by Royal College of Gynecologist and Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunization , COVID Vaccination in breastfeeding mother is recommended as benefits outweighs the risk. Based on that Govt of WB changed their standpoint also.
My suggestion is go for it if you are eligible.
Please look into the reference for further information

Hi, as you are breastfeeding, you can continue breastfeeding after vaccination. Clinical trials on the use of coronavirus vaccines while breastfeeding are not advanced. However, the available data do not indicate any harm to the breastfed infant. Hope this was helpful
