You guys, it's bad over here. In the last 3 weeks my son has gotten sick and better 3 times, and my husband has twice. I think I got a mild case once, but otherwise have been okay. I think my newborn also had it for a day. In addition, the kiddos' immune systems have been down and they both caught colds. I am in Norovirus hell.
Please tell me how to get rid of this. I usually clean with just soap and water, but today bought some bleach spray cleaner and lysol. Do I need to wash all of the bedding (any contaminated bedding has been cleaned as we go, but what about seemingly clean bedding?) How about the floors and rugs? Do they need to be sanitized somehow?
Seriously. I have a 4 week old and the last 3 weeks have been a constant rotation of sickness. I am going nuts, and somehow the one who is supposed to be recovering from a c-section is taking care of everyone! 
I am bleaching surfaces and doorknobs and bathrooms, and taking lo's diapers out to the big trash immediately instead of leaving them in the trashcan inside. We are using disposable until it passes so I don't have to try to sanitize the cloth ones. Ick. I also sprayed the couches and area rugs with lysol...we don't have any carpet, so hopefully I can sanitize the hardwoods with our steamer. I hope your family doesn't all get it! This has been rough! 
Sounds like you are taking the right steps, we don't normally use bleach either but with the GI bug its a must. My DH was sick when I came home with LO2 after my C section and I was miserable and furious. Sounds like you are keeping your spirits up and I hope the worst of it is over and you can get some rest soon!
