Wash your hands: Constantly! Try to use sanitizer before you touch her. Of you have someone close to you that can keep her, even better. In addition, if you are breast feeding, make sure to give her your milk- you will be making antibodies against this in a few short days. Good luck.

Avoidance: Unfortunately, other than total avoidance, she is at leas at risk of exposure to the virus. Extremely good hand washing may help. Breast feeding would also be helpful, as the antibodies you make against the virus would be protective to her. Be meticulous about clean as these are almost always transmitted oral-fecal route, so especially when changing diapers, etc.
