*Yingru* records a formula for treating infants who suddenly cry in fright during night sleep, do not recognize their mother, and shake their heads when called by her.
When infants suddenly cry in fright and do not recognize their mother, it is because they dreamt that their mother abandoned them, believing she truly left, hence crying to find her. Simply have someone hold the child sitting in the dark, and let the mother come in from outside holding a large torch and calling him; the crying will stop. The reason for this is that the mother has left but returned. This method is unknown to the world. *Yinju Xiaofang*.
Another method: Write the characters "Tianxin" (Heavenly Heart) on the fontanelle, and write "Niwan" (Elixir Field) on the Dantian.
