am a hepatitis b positive mother.vcan I breast feed my new born child

A. There is no evidence that breastfeeding from an HBV infected mother poses an additional risk of HBV infection to her infant, even without immunization. Thus, even where HBV infection is highly endemic and immunization against HBV is not available, breastfeeding remains the recommended method of infant feeding.Unlike hepatitis A and E, HBV can be spread from the mother to child during birth. ... HBV transmission, however, does not occur through breast milk, making it perfectly safe for infants unless there is a risk of contact HBV-infected blood.
