Should be consulted together with the Pediatrics section in Volume 10 of the previous volume.
When a child is just born, it is like a plant sprouting; vital energy has just arrived, and the constitution is weak and fragile. Methods for nurturing and growth must be clearly understood beforehand so that the child may grow tall like a towering tree; therefore, care methods for newborns should be comprehensive.

If the newborn cannot make sound, it is sometimes called "dream birth"; the umbilical cord must not be cut immediately. Wrap the infant in cotton clothes, burn a thick oil-paper wick to fumigate the umbilicus, or use a paper wick with mugwort fire to fumigate back and forth below the umbilical cord, allowing warmth to enter the abdomen until the infant can gradually cry; this is suitable for cold weather.
Currently, some wrap the infant in cotton clothes and additionally warm the umbilicus with hot water; once Yang Qi connects, the infant can be delivered safely, with almost no failure.
Additionally, it may be caused by difficult labor where cold forces Qi closure. Gently whip the back with scallion white (Congbai) to awaken and unblock Qi; do not cut the umbilical cord yet, and also fumigate below the umbilical cord with a lit oil-paper wick, which is extremely effective.
Additionally, crush fresh Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (Changpu) to extract juice, drip a few drops into the mouth to revive.
Additionally, if a white membrane covers the tongue, or fills the root of the tongue, or there is a membrane under the tongue like a pomegranate seed, or blisters in the mouth prevent crying, urgently scrape the membrane gently with fingernails until blood appears, then apply a small amount of Alum powder (Kufan). If not observed and treated, it may lead to muteness later.
Additionally, for infants who do not cry after difficult labor but have faint breath, blowing the parents' true Qi (breath) onto them can save them.
