I have been finding that some medical guidance - specially with raising children - are standardized and assuming an almost total lack of judgment on people side.
If you guidelines assume a total lack of criteria from parents it's best to give strict guidance on "no this and that until XYZ".
Example: where I'm raising my kids it is standard medical guidance to avoid minced meat until 5yo because of HUS - a guidance that no one from where I grew up even today ever heard of. Now, Am I living in a place where the risk of catching HUS is higher? Maybe. But more likely is the fact that here it is easier to just tell people that ANY minced meat is a risk instead of explaining that it depends on how you prepare and cook it.
