Yes, they can, since both parents can carry the "hidden" recessive gene that is not expressed and pass it on to their children.

The genotyping goes as follows:

Possible alleles for type A blood: Ao (heterozygous) or AA (homozygous)

Possible alleles for type O blood: oo (the only possibility in normal people would be recessive homozygous).

If both parents are Ao, then both are type A but pass on their o gene to their child. The odds this happening are 1 in 4.

For type Rh positive blood: Pn (heterozygous) or PP (homozygous)

And for type Rh negative blood: nn (the only possibility in normal people would be recessive homozygous).

If both parents are Pn, then both are positive but pass on their negative gene to their child. The odds this happening are also 1 in 4.

The odds of getting a normal child that is both type O and negative from parents with those genotypes is 1 in 16 (1/4 times 1/4)

What else can I help you with?

Mother is o positive and father is o positive Does this mean baby will be o positive?

No. There's a small chance the baby will be O negative--if both parents have an Rh negative (recessive) allele, and the baby inherits this allele from both parents, the baby would be Rh negative. But if the baby inherits the Rh positive allele from either parent, the baby will be Rh positive.
