First off congratulations on starting the protocol. I am a mom of 3 and also started the protocol in August 2 years ago. You can find my thread under "blessings".
I didn't want any physical contact for the first few months because I was worried. I didn't want to hug or touch my children out of fear, so I can understand your worry about that issue. As I got better I started hugging and loving on my children again. My kids were older and I was able to explain to them why I had stopped doing those things.
In hindsight of all this it probably didn't really make a difference for them because they ended up with symptoms. I'm not convinced yet that this is spread just by simple contact such as hugging. I think Deborah gave you some very sound advice above. Because of everyone having a different experience my advice is to do what feels right to you. Something to consider is how young your children are and how very difficult it would be to avoid physical contact with them.
I wish you all the best on your journey! Keep the faith and never lose hope!
Love from my family to yours Amber
