The youngster named Erin was diagnosed with the virus 14 days ago and had been in isolation away from her mum Emma at Alder Hey Hospital.
The hospital shared video on Twitter of Erin coming out of isolation yesterday.
"Erin beat Covid-19 & received a guard of honour by the treating team on our HDU (high-dependency unit) as she was moved out of isolation," the tweet said.
The hospital also tweeted a statement from mother Emma as she thanked the "truly amazing" medical staff for caring for her baby.
"Thank you so much to each and every one of them, we couldn’t have got through it without them. They are all truly amazing and we will be forever grateful," she wrote.
Erin is still being treated for other conditions at Alder Hey Hospital, but is making good progress, according to the hospital.
The news comes as the UK became the fifth country in the world to report 20,000 Covid-19-related deaths.
