《千金》论云∶儿生落地不作声者，取暖水一器灌之，须臾当啼。又云∶儿生不作声者，此由难产少气故也。

《婴孺》云∶凡小儿落地不作声，便取冷水一器灌浴之，须臾作声也。（《千金》用暖水，此用冷水既。
《千金》云∶由难产少气，恐不宜用冷水也。）

《千金方》论述说：婴儿出生落地后不哭，取一容器暖水灌入其口中，片刻之后应当啼哭。又说：婴儿出生不哭，这是由于难产导致气虚的缘故。
可以握住婴儿的脐带向身体方向捋动，使气进入腹部，同时对着婴儿呵气多达百次，啼声自然发出。也可以用葱白轻轻拍打婴儿，随即就会啼哭。婴儿刚出生就应当将其举起，如果动作迟缓则会让婴儿受寒，腹内发出雷鸣般的肠鸣音，这时应先给婴儿洗澡，然后再断脐带。
《婴孺书》说：凡是小儿出生落地不哭，便取一容器冷水给婴儿洗浴，片刻之后就会发声。（《千金方》使用暖水，此处使用冷水是否妥当？《千金方》说由于难产气少，恐怕不宜用冷水。）
《仙人水鉴》记载：婴儿出生后七日以前不哭的方剂。
胎风证导致生下不能啼哭，需要园中的小叶葵菜。捣取汁液调和熊胆粉，刚入口就能避免危险。
以上使用葵菜叶捣取自然汁，调和熊胆粉，滴三、两滴入口，立刻就能发声，神妙无比。
《秘要指迷》论述：凡是小儿出生才满七天，眼睛不睁开，这是因为在母胎中受热，食用面食毒素，导致患病。用药让母亲服用，才可以痊愈。
《惠眼观证》说：凡是小儿出生，患有胎热，眼睑闭合口张开，经常发出呻吟声，因为受到胎中热气的影响，只用凉五脏的药，天竺黄散（方剂见重舌门中）以及给母亲服用，随后用竹筒煎汤清洗眼睛。
《惠眼观证》洗眼方
黄连 秦皮 灯心草 大枣（等分）
以上用竹筒煎汤清洗，治疗小儿胎热，眼睛不睁开。
《千金方》论述小儿初生即死的治法，应当观察婴儿口中悬雍垂前，上方有胞状物者（《千金翼方》说：赤色胞状物）。用手指掐破头部，令血液溃出并去除（《千金翼方》说：用棉絮擦拭干净血液），不要让血液流入咽喉，血液入咽会杀死婴儿，务必紧急谨慎。
(Conditions at Birth) Seventeen Categories in Total
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) discusses: When an infant does not cry upon landing after birth, pour a vessel of warm water into the mouth; within a short time, crying should commence. It further states: If an infant does not cry upon birth, this is due to Qi deficiency caused by difficult labor.
One may grasp the umbilical cord and stroke it towards the body to direct Qi into the abdomen, while blowing air towards the infant up to a hundred times, so that crying arises spontaneously. Alternatively, one may gently whip the infant with white parts of green onions (*Cong Bai*), whereupon crying will occur immediately. The infant should be lifted immediately after birth; delay will cause cold invasion, leading to borborygmus (rumbling sounds in the abdomen). In such cases, bathe the infant first, then cut the umbilical cord.
The *Yingru Shu* (Book for Infants and Toddlers) states: Whenever an infant does not cry upon birth, take a vessel of cold water to bathe the infant, and within a short time, sound will emerge. (Note: *Qianjin Fang* uses warm water; here cold water is used. Is this appropriate? *Qianjin Fang* attributes the condition to Qi deficiency from difficult labor, suggesting cold water might be unsuitable.)
The *Xianren Shuijian* (Immortal's Water Mirror) records a formula for infants who do not cry within seven days after birth.
For inability to cry due to Fetal Wind (*Tai Feng*) at birth, use small-leaf hibiscus (*Kui Cai*) from the garden. Crush to extract natural juice, mix with powdered bear gallbladder (*Xiong Dan*). Once it enters the mouth, danger is averted.
Use the above method: crush hibiscus leaves to extract natural juice, mix with bear gallbladder powder, drip three or two drops into the mouth; crying commences immediately. This is miraculous.
The *Miyao Zhimi* (Secret Essentials Pointing to Confusion) discusses: Whenever an infant has not opened their eyes after one week of birth, this is due to heat accumulation in the womb and toxicity from consuming wheat flour, causing illness. Medication should be administered to the mother to effect a cure.
The *Huiyan Guanzheng* (Observing Signs with the Eye of Compassion) states: Whenever an infant is born with Fetal Heat (*Tai Re*), eyes closed and mouth open, often making groaning sounds, due to heat received in the womb, use only herbs to cool the Five Zang organs. Administer Tianzhu Huang San (Formula see section on Double Tongue) to the mother, and subsequently wash the eyes with decoction prepared in a bamboo tube.
*Huiyan Guanzheng* Eye-Washing Formula
Coptis Rhizome (*Huang Lian*)
Phellodendron Bark (*Qin Pi*)
Juncus Effusus (*Deng Xin*)
Jujube Fruit (*Da Zao*) (Equal parts)
Boil the above in a bamboo tube to prepare a decoction for washing; treats infantile Fetal Heat and failure to open eyes.
The *Qianjin Fang* discusses the treatment for infants dying immediately after birth: One must observe the area anterior to the uvula in the infant's mouth. If there is a vesicle/bulla above it (the *Qianjin Yi Fang* specifies: a red vesicle), use a finger to puncture the head of the vesicle, allowing blood to drain and be removed (the *Qianjin Yi Fang* specifies: wipe clean with cotton). Do not allow blood to enter the pharynx; if blood enters the pharynx, it can kill the infant. Act urgently and with caution.
