A. hello mam you should get you baby vaccinated. and acc to CDC "Is it safe for the HBV-positive mother to breastfeed if her nipples are cracked and bleeding? Data are insufficient to say yes or no. However, HBV is spread by infected blood. Therefore, if the HBV-positive mother's nipples and/or surrounding areola are cracked and bleeding, she should stop nursing temporarily"
