You need to make sure your baby is vaccinated ASAP.  HepB usually is not transferred by breast feeding but I think honesty is the best policy:  let people you love know the truth so that they can protect themselves and help you too.

Congratulations!

Like cajim said, make sure the baby gets 2 shots at delivery: the Hepatitis B Immuno Globulin (HBIG) and the first HBV vaccination (its a three-shot series).  Once you've done that you can definitely breastfeed.
