Norovirus

Hi, I wonder if anyone can give any advice or encouragement?!
My two month old has had norovirus for 4 weeks... My husband and I got it 5 days after her and ostensibly were ill for a day. Sick once each, diarrhoea that day and then my husband recovered. I felt nauseous and built up my food intake from v bland things over a week. 6 days later I had two episodes of diarrhoea and the nausea increased. Again built up to eating a bit more but every time I did me and the baby were ill (me feeling sick baby having worse diarrhoea). I am breastfeeding, though not sure how as I am eating so little. Fortunately I put on lots of weight when pregnant!

The baby is putting on weight and is hydrated but I am sick of feeling sick. I've never heard of it going on this long. What are we doing wrong? Are we being reinfected? We saw the GP for our 6 week check at 7 weeks and we were both ok that day. She is due to be immunized next week at 9 weeks old but I'm worried she'll be too ill. Can't find info on how long it lives on surfaces. Have bleached bathrooms and changing mat (anti bac it usually) and antibaced light switches, door handles etc. Was washing at 60 for the baby with laundry cleanser but going to increase to 90 as I think it isn't killed at 60? But what about a woolen jumper that the baby was sick on? How often should I change muslins used by my dribbly baby? I'm currently changing once or twice a day. Hands are cracked from washing. I change my hand towel at least once a day.
Please help with practical recommendations or stories of hope!! I just can't see the end of this!!
