【歌】寄语人家初诞儿，勿令频浴水侵脐。或缘客气相冲忤，撮口脐风病患危∶木舌噤风诚可畏，十朝内
染却难医；生黄生赤兼生呕，胎热胎寒胎瘦肥；更有胎惊并内 ，
脏寒不乳夜间啼。皆因禀受胎中毒，致使初生病染躯。五日以来便溺闭，要将良法急通之。若还妊母遵胎教，
宁得婴儿此证罹？
【论】夫初生婴儿，如草之萌芽，花之嫩蕊，血气未充，肌肤未实，稍有伤触，为患匪轻，故古人以
“芽儿”名之。凡儿初断脐之后，不可频浴，不惟风湿侵脐，抑且风寒感冒，为病莫当。若脐嫩入水，便有
脐风之患。不禁生人，或异物触忤，便有口噤、客忤、惊啼、厥逆之变。乳食重复，不能消克，便有生痰、气
逆之病。过于温暖，则阴消内热，便有生赤、生黄、疮疡、丹疹、赤目、重舌、木舌之病。过凉则脏冷，便有
夜啼、腹痛、泄利、盘肠内 之疾。然调理之法，在乎适中可也。
有受胎气成病，如噤风、木舌风者，由胎中感受热气，流毒于心脾，故形见于喉舌。生下复为风邪搏击，
名曰犯风噤也。撮口脐风者，亦由胎气挟热，兼风热入脐，流毒心脾故也。若母恣食热毒辛辣，则生子成胎热
病。嗜食生冷，则生子成胎寒证。母受湿而传于胎，则子生下发黄如金，名曰胎黄。母受热而传于胎，则子生
下肌肤赤如丹涂，及为胎肥、胎瘦之候。若怀孕受惊者，则月里有胎惊、痫、 之疾。若妊母恣食肥、甘、酒、
面、野味、腥膻一应寒热之物，及动止无忌，故令儿不寒则热，不虚则怯。热则壅，寒则作泄，虚则作惊，怯
则作结。善为治者，寒则温之，热则凉之，虚者壮营，怯者益卫，惊则安神，结则微利，壅则清解，泄则固脾，
风则祛逐，湿则分消，痰则开豁。

【歌诀】
寄语初生婴儿的家庭，不要让婴儿频繁洗澡，以免水侵入肚脐。如果因为外邪之气冲撞触犯，就会引发撮口、脐风等危重病患：木舌、噤风确实令人畏惧，若在十天内感染则难以医治；出现发黄、发赤兼有呕吐，这是胎热、胎寒或胎瘦胎肥的表现；更有胎惊以及内寒（指脏腑虚寒），因脏寒而不吃奶、夜间啼哭。这些都是因为禀受胎儿时期体内的毒邪，致使出生后疾病侵袭身体。出生五天后若大小便闭塞，必须用良法紧急通利。如果怀孕母亲遵守胎教，怎会让婴儿遭受这些病症的折磨呢？
【论述】
刚出生的婴儿，就像草的萌芽、花的嫩蕊，气血尚未充盈，肌肤尚未坚实，稍有伤触，造成的祸患就不轻，所以古人称他们为“芽儿”。凡是婴儿刚断脐带之后，不可频繁洗澡，这不仅会导致风湿侵入肚脐，而且会引起风寒感冒，其危害不可抵挡。如果肚脐娇嫩处入水，就会有脐风的隐患。如果不避忌外人接触，或被异物触犯，就会出现口噤、客忤（指小儿因惊吓或外邪引起的痉挛）、惊啼、厥逆等变故。乳食重复摄入，不能消化，就会产生生痰、气逆的疾病。过于保暖，则阴液消耗产生内热，就会出现生赤（皮肤发红）、生黄（黄疸）、疮疡、丹疹、赤目（眼睛红肿）、重舌（舌下肿胀）、木舌（舌体僵硬）等疾病。过凉则导致脏腑寒冷，就会出现夜啼、腹痛、泄泻、盘肠内吊（腹部绞痛）的疾病。然而调理的方法，在于适中即可。
有的病是由于受胎气而成，如噤风、木舌风，这是由于在胎中感受热气，流毒于心脾，所以症状表现在喉舌。出生后又被风邪搏击，名叫犯风噤。撮口脐风，也是由于胎气挟带热邪，加上风热侵入肚脐，流毒心脾所致。如果母亲放纵食用热毒辛辣食物，则孩子会患上胎热病。嗜食生冷，则孩子会患上胎寒证。母亲受湿邪传给胎儿，则孩子出生后头发发黄如金，名叫胎黄。母亲受热邪传给胎儿，则孩子出生后肌肤赤红如丹涂，并出现胎肥、胎瘦的情况。如果怀孕期间受惊，则在月子里会有胎惊、痫症、抽搐的疾病。如果妊娠母亲放纵食用肥甘厚味、酒、面食、野味、腥膻等一切寒热之物，以及行为举止没有禁忌，所以导致孩子要么不寒则热，要么不虚则怯。热则壅滞，寒则作泄泻，虚则易惊，怯则便秘。善于治疗的人，寒则温补，热则清凉，虚者强壮营血，怯者益固卫气，惊则安神，结则轻微通便，壅滞则清解，泄泻则固护脾胃，风邪则祛除，湿邪则分消，痰浊则开豁。
胎黄
婴儿出生后全身黄如金色，这是胎中受湿热所致。症状表现为壮热，大便不通，小便像栀子汁一样黄，乳母可服用生地黄汤加茵陈，忌食热毒之物。
生地黄汤
乳母服用，也可给婴儿服用。
生地、赤芍、川芎、当归、花粉（各等分）
水煎服。
胎赤
小儿月子里遍身发红，肌肤如丹涂，这是胎中受热毒所致，母亲服用清凉饮子，外用蓝叶散涂抹。

以上药材，水煎服。
蓝叶散
治疗一切丹毒赤肿，身热，风热毒盛，赤如丹涂。
蓝叶、浮萍、水苔同研烂绞汁，调朴硝、土朱涂抹。
发呕
婴儿刚生下就呕吐，这是因为擦拭口中秽血不尽，咽下，所以导致婴儿吐，用木瓜丸主治。大哭后吃奶而呕吐的，一定是乳汁停滞在膈中，气机不宣通，所以呕吐，用消乳丸主治。（即消食丸，见变蒸门。）
木瓜丸
木瓜末、木香末、槟榔末、麝香（各一字）
蜜丸，粟米大，每次服三丸，甘草水下。
脐风撮口口噤
初生儿有三种病，一口噤、一撮口、一脐风，都是急病，噤口尤其严重，过一个月才能免除这种证候。初生七日内外，忽然口噤不吃奶，与撮口相似，但口噤面赤多啼，口不吐白沫，与撮口面青啼不出，口吐白沫者不同。将天南星去皮、脐，研为细末，加少许龙脑混合，用手指蘸生姜汁，同药末在大牙根上擦之，立刻张开。
脐风，是壮热痰盛，眼翻口噤，用天麻防风丸。
撮口，是嘴唇撮聚不能开，用蝎梢散。
钱孔纯说：脐风、撮口，如果两眉青色，脸赤腹胀，不可用药。《圣惠方》说：先撮口而生惊，如果脐边青黑，撮口不开，这是内搐，不治，爪甲青黑即死。

[Song]
To the families of newborn infants: do not bathe them frequently to prevent water from entering the umbilicus. If affected by external pathogenic factors, critical conditions such as *cuokou* (mouth closing tightly) and *qifeng* (umbilical wind) may arise: *mutong* (wooden tongue) and *jinfeng* (lockjaw wind) are indeed terrifying; if contracted within ten days, they are difficult to treat. Manifestations include jaundice (*huang*), erythema (*chi*), accompanied by vomiting, indicating fetal heat (*tai re*), fetal cold (*tai han*), or fetal emaciation/obesity (*tai shou fei*). There is also fetal fright (*tai jing*) and internal cold causing refusal to suckle and nocturnal crying. All these result from toxins received during gestation, invading the body after birth. If urination and defecation are obstructed five days after birth, urgent methods must be employed to unblock them. If pregnant mothers observe prenatal education, how could infants suffer from these disorders?
[Dissertation]
Newborns are like sprouting grass or tender flower buds; their *qi* and blood are not yet full, and their skin and muscles are not yet solid. Even slight injury can cause significant harm, which is why ancients called them "sprout children." After cutting the umbilical cord, frequent bathing should be avoided. Not only does this invite wind-dampness into the umbilicus, but it also causes wind-cold common colds, which are severe. If water enters the tender umbilicus, *qifeng* (umbilical wind) may occur. Exposure to strangers or foreign objects can trigger *jingjin* (lockjaw), *kewu* (external shock), frightened crying, or *jue ni* (reversal cold). Overfeeding milk can lead to phlegm generation and qi rebellion. Excessive warmth consumes yin and generates internal heat, leading to erythema (*sheng chi*), jaundice (*sheng huang*), sores, carbuncles, erysipelas, red eyes, double tongue (*chong she*), and wooden tongue (*mutong*). Excessive cooling causes cold viscera, leading to nocturnal crying, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and intestinal colic (*panchang neidiao*). Therefore, regulation should aim for moderation.
Some diseases arise from fetal qi, such as *jinfeng* and *mutong feng*, caused by heat toxins in the womb flowing to the heart and spleen, manifesting in the throat and tongue. Post-birth exposure to wind exacerbates this, termed "offending wind lockjaw." *Cuokou qifeng* results from fetal qi carrying heat, combined with wind-heat entering the umbilicus and affecting the heart and spleen. If the mother consumes spicy and hot toxic foods, the child develops fetal heat. If she eats raw/cold foods, the child develops fetal cold. If the mother is damp, the child is born with golden-yellow hair, termed fetal jaundice (*tai huang*). If the mother has heat, the child's skin turns red like cinnabar, presenting as fetal obesity or emaciation. Fright during pregnancy leads to fetal fright, epilepsy, or convulsions in the first month. Indulgence in rich, sweet, alcoholic, or game meats by the mother causes the child to be either hyperactive (heat/stagnation) or timid (cold/diarrhea/deficiency/fright/constipation). Skilled treatment warms cold, cools heat, strengthens ying (nutritive qi) for deficiency, secures wei (defensive qi) for timidity, calms fright, gently purges stagnation, clears heat/toxins, stabilizes the spleen for diarrhea, expels wind, resolves dampness, and transforms phlegm.
Fetal Jaundice (*Tai Huang*)
The infant is yellow all over like gold, due to damp-heat in the womb. Symptoms include high fever, constipation, and urine resembling gardenia juice. The nursing mother should take *Shengdi Huang Tang* (Rehmannia Root Decoction) with *Yin Chen* (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba), avoiding hot-toxic foods.
Shengdi Huang Tang (Rehmannia Root Decoction)
For the nursing mother, or the infant.

Decoct in water and take orally.
Fetal Erythema (*Tai Chi*)
The infant's body is red all over in the first month, like cinnabar, due to heat toxins in the womb. The mother takes *Qingliang Yinzi* (Cooling Drink), and externally apply *Lanye San* (Isatis Leaf Powder).
Qingliang Yinzi (Cooling Drink)
Treats interior heat and blood heat.

Vomiting (*Fa Ou*)
Vomiting immediately after birth is due to swallowing residual bloody mucus from wiping the mouth. Treat with *Mugua Wan* (Papaya Pill). Vomiting after crying while feeding is due to milk stagnation in the diaphragm blocking qi flow. Treat with *Xiaoru Wan* (Digest Milk Pill).
Mugua Wan (Papaya Pill)

Umbilical Wind, Cuokou, Lockjaw (*Qifeng Cuokou Koujin*)
Three acute conditions in newborns: lockjaw, cuokou, and umbilical wind. Lockjaw is the most severe. Within seven days, sudden lockjaw without sucking resembles cuokou but presents with a red face and loud crying without white foam, unlike cuokou which has a blue face, silent crying, and white foam. Grind *Tiannanxing* (Arisaematis Rhizoma) (peeled) into fine powder, add a little *Longnao* (Borneolum Syntheticum). Dip a finger in ginger juice, mix with powder, and rub on the gums to open the mouth immediately.
Umbilical wind involves high fever, profuse phlegm, eye rolling, and lockjaw. Treat with *Tianma Fangfeng Wan*.
Cuokou involves puckered lips that cannot open. Treat with *Xieshao San*.
Qian Kongchun stated: If eyebrows are blue, face red, and abdomen distended in umbilical wind/cuokou, medication is contraindicated. *Shenghui Fang* states: If cuokou precedes fright, with blue-black umbilicus and inability to open mouth, it is internal convulsion (untreatable); blue-black nails indicate death.

Fetal Fright (*Tai Jing*)
Fetal fright manifests as kicking, convulsions, clenched fists, and fever from birth to the first month. Treat with *Baolong Wan* and *Zhisheng Baoming Dan*.
