my wife just gave birth Doctors start treatment from 28 weeks of pregnancy What should I do next, if I continue taking the medicine, what are the risks to the breastfed baby?
Breastfeeding while on TDF has been shown by many studies to be safe and the amount of TDF in the breast milk is minimal (Breastfeeding while taking lamivudine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: a review of the evidence - PubMed, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857923000122)

Thank you for the answer and now I am confident to continue treatment. my newborn got 2 injections 1 hour after birth hb0 and hyperheb what do you think?
Dear @Helmy,
That’s great that your newborn was given the vaccine at birth to protect them against Hep B in future. HBIg has also been shown to protect babies from exposure during birth.
Wishing you all the best in your new parenthood!
