论曰小儿呕吐者，脾胃不和也。或因啼呼未定，而遽饮乳；或因乳中伤冷，令儿饮之，
皆致呕吐。盖儿啼未定，气息未调，遽令饮乳，其气尚逆，乳不得下。停滞胸膈，胸满气急
，故令呕吐，乳母乘凉。冷气入乳，乳汁变坏。不捻除之，因以饮儿，坏乳入胃，则令腹胀
气逆，故亦变呕吐，又有小儿沐浴不避风冷，风冷与血气相搏，胃生蕴热，亦为呕吐，当审
其形证冷热，根据法治之。

论述说：小儿呕吐，是由于脾胃功能失调。有的因为啼哭呼喊尚未平复，就立即喂奶；有的因为乳汁受寒，让婴儿饮用，都会导致呕吐。大概是因为婴儿啼哭未定，气息未调，立即喂奶，其气尚逆，乳汁无法下行。停滞在胸膈部位，胸部胀满、气息急促，所以导致呕吐。如果乳母受凉，寒气进入乳汁，乳汁变质。不剔除清除，因此给婴儿饮用，变质的乳汁入胃，就会导致腹胀、气逆，所以也变成呕吐。又有小儿洗澡时不避风寒，风寒与气血相搏结，胃中产生蕴热，也会引起呕吐，应当仔细审查其形证是冷是热，根据法则治疗。

Commentary states: Infantile vomiting is caused by disharmony of the Spleen and Stomach. It may occur because milk is given immediately after crying or shouting has not subsided; or because the milk has been chilled, causing the infant to drink it. Both lead to vomiting. Generally, when an infant's crying has not settled and their breath is unregulated, giving milk immediately causes the Qi to remain rebellious, preventing the milk from descending. The milk stagnates in the chest and diaphragm, causing chest fullness and rapid breathing, thus leading to vomiting. If the nursing mother is exposed to cold, cold Qi enters the milk, spoiling it. If this spoiled milk is not removed and is instead given to the infant, it enters the stomach, causing abdominal distension and rebellious Qi, thereby also resulting in vomiting. Additionally, if infants bathe without avoiding wind and cold, wind-cold combats with Blood and Qi, generating latent heat in the Stomach, which also causes vomiting. One must carefully examine whether the signs and symptoms indicate cold or heat, and treat according to the appropriate principles.
