Dear Lactnet Friends:
Can a mother with Epstein-Barr (mononucleosis) continue to nurse her baby?
Yes, she can. Mono. is not on the CDC list of contraindicated medical
conditions.
One paper says "Active infection with mononucleosis is a contraindication
to breastfeeding as the presence of EBV can be found in human milk.
However, reports on breastfed infants infected by the virus are rare.7
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5303016/#JR160060-7>"

Is it a good idea? Not sure.
If she has been nursing for a year, we'd better have some excellent
evidence for weaning, particularly as the baby is eating solids now.
There is none.
warmly,
