I know it's hard but I wouldn't worry to much about it. Like Teresa said you may already carry it and not know it and never be affected by it. I have worked in neonates for close to nine years and have never seen an MRSA infection in an infant or heard of one in a post partum mum. Just remind people that it is hospital policy that they must wash their hands or rub them with alcohol gel before they touch the baby, I find most people will comply with that, and you can buy good quality sanitising hand gel in chemists now.
