Breast cancer genetics, like all genetics, follow certain basic rules. Inherited abnormalities (mutations) in breast cancer genes (such as altered BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes) do not skip generations. If a woman does not have an abnormality in a breast cancer gene underlying her own breast cancer, she has no known abnormality in a breast cancer gene to pass on to her children (daughters and sons).
However, your daughter also may want to look at her father's family history of breast cancer in order to evaluate her own genetic risk.
