any covid vaccine like covishield / covaxin can be given safely to nursing mothers and pregnant women as per the latest recommendation which is approved by govt of India.children are still not included in this list.trials are still going on but proper confirmation regarding this is not yet done by the govt.it may take some more time.till then children need to be kept under full safety precautions and given a good balanced diet n supplements for good immunity and other vaccines done timely.
Nursing mothers can feed their child as soon as required after the vaccination very safelyub.it has no  adverse effects on the baby.in case of any pain or fever after vaccination,tab dolo can be taken which is safest durivng this period.

Hello dear parent, we'll it Woild be better to give a break of a day or two. Because some people do face lethargic pain after vaccination  and due to which they take pain pillars. 
Ifyou do nkt feel any such pain then you may feed the baby the same day. 
Also as per guidelines, you can take vaccination. But must Consult with your paediatric once
