Can Mono Be Transferred To An Infant By Breastfeeding ?

Can mono be transferred to an infant by breastfeeding? My daughter in law delivered a month early and she had been diagnosed with mono 2 weeks before she delivered. She has been breast feeding the baby from the start and I wonder what if any, damage this can do to the baby?
