Commentary states: The disease of "Bu Lu" (infantile malnutrition with emaciation) shares the same root cause as the diseases of "Shang Bao" (injury from overeating) and "Ding Xi" (infantile malnutrition). Both originate from irregular breastfeeding or feeding, which injures the Spleen and Stomach, leading to a depletion of Qi and Blood. This failure to nourish the muscles results in a lean, emaciated, and wasted appearance, termed "Bu Lu."
