Qian Yi stated: Infants with robust prenatal constitution (Tai Shi) have ruddy complexions, dark and bright eyes with prominent iris coverage, and tend to smile. Infants with deficient prenatal constitution (Tai Qie) have sallow complexions, less visible irises with more sclera exposed, and tend to cry frequently. One must also distinguish the parents' body types; a father who is obese cannot sire a thin child, nor can a thin father sire an obese child.
"Tai Fei" (Fetal Excess/Fatness) refers to infants born with thick muscles and reddish skin tone. After one month of age, they gradually become emaciated, exhibit pinkish-white sclera, sensation of heat in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest), difficulty in defecation, and frequent drooling. The primary treatment is the Body Bathing Method.
Ingredients: Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Xiewei (Scorpio tail, detoxified), Zhusha (Cinnabar, each 5 fen), Wushe Rou (Duberrius's Snake meat, soaked in wine, dried and powdered), Baifan (Alumen, each 3 qian), Shexiang (Musk, 1 zi), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis, 3 qian).
Grind all ingredients uniformly. For each use, take 3 qian of the powder, add three bowls of water, a handful of peach branches with five or seven leaves, and decoct until boiling ten times. Use the warm liquid for bathing. Do not bathe the back.
Dalianqiao Yin (Great Forsythia Decoction): Treats fetal heat causing umbilical wind (neonatal tetanus), urinary retention, and various sores and toxins.
Ingredients: Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructum), Qumai (Dianthi Herba), Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Chi Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Huashi (Talcum), Chanqiao (Cicadae Periostracum), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, stir-fried, each 1 qian), Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each half qian).

Xue Ji stated: Tai Fei is caused by maternal stomach heat. The infant should undergo the Body Bathing Method to unblock the couli (skin pores and interstices). The nursing mother should take Dalianqiao Yin.
"Tai Qie" (Fetal Deficiency/Weakness) refers to infants born with lusterless faces, thin muscles, watery loose stools, lack of blood color in the body, frequent hiccupping and belching, dull eyes, and lack of spirit. This condition is also primarily treated with the Body Bathing Method. Chu Yushi stated: Insufficient qi and blood in the mother leads to emaciation and thin flesh in the infant; insufficient essence from the father leads to delayed closure of the fontanelle (Jie Lu) and excessive sclera exposure.
When a newborn has yellowing of the entire body and face, resembling gold, accompanied by high fever, constipation, urine resembling gardenia juice, refusal to nurse, and incessant crying, this is the presentation of Tai Huang (Fetal Jaundice). This is caused by damp-heat contracted by the nursing mother being transmitted to the fetus. In such cases, both mother and infant should take Dihuang Tang and Dihuang Yinzi. If an infant remains slightly yellow after one hundred days or six months without prior illness, it is due to stomach heat. If jaundice is present from birth, it is termed Tan Dan (Fetal Jaundice). The classics state: All forms of jaundice are heat-related; deep yellow color confirms this. The primary treatment is Xijiao San. If the yellow is pale and mixed with white, it indicates weak stomach qi, treated with Baizhu San.
