哺乳婴儿不可喂得过饱，过饱则乳汁满溢而引起呕吐。如果喂得太饱，可以让婴儿吸吮空乳房即可缓解。凡是初次哺乳，必须先挤出并丢弃残留的旧乳，然后再让婴儿吸吮。夏季不除去热乳，会使婴儿发生呕吐；冬季不除去冷乳，会使婴儿咳嗽。若夜间哺乳，必须用手臂托住婴儿头部，使乳房与婴儿头部保持水平，这样婴儿就不会被呛到。母亲想睡觉时就要停止哺乳，恐怕婴儿睡熟后不知饱足而导致呕吐。如果母亲怀孕，哺乳会导致婴儿患胎黄（新生儿黄疸）；母亲大醉，哺乳会导致婴儿患惊热（高热惊厥类病症）；母亲吃得太饱，哺乳会导致婴儿患喘急（呼吸急促）；母亲行房事后，哺乳会导致婴儿患疳瘦（营养不良消瘦）；母亲大怒，哺乳会导致婴儿患癫狂（精神异常）；母亲刚吐完，哺乳会导致婴儿患虚羸（身体虚弱消瘦）。另外，夏季天气极热，母亲沐浴后立即给婴儿哺乳，会使婴儿因热毒而患痢疾，此时必须将乳汁揉搓温热很久，才可以哺乳。另外，哺乳后不可立即喂食，喂食后不可立即哺乳，乳食同时摄入，则难以消化，结聚在胸中引起疼痛，大多形成癖积、疳证、积滞，都是由于这个原因。如果父母交合之时，婴儿在旁边惊醒啼哭，不可立即给其哺乳，因为此时母亲的“气乳”（受情绪和生理状态影响的乳汁）未定，多会导致伤害婴儿。必须安静片刻后，再给予哺乳。另外，平时婴儿啼哭，不可听到哭声就立即抱起喂奶，应当经常让婴儿哭泣，这样胎中所受热毒由此散发，胎中惊气由此解除。满月之间，可避免重舌、木舌、口噤、胎风、胎热等疾患。
婴儿初生，尚未剃除胎发时，不给戴帽子，则自幼至长，难以伤风，永远没有鼻塞流涕的病患。又不能用油腻的手进行包裹束缚，春季忌讳覆盖头部包裹双脚，夏季忌讳饮用冷水食用生冷食物，冬季忌讳用火烘烤衣服。至于饮食方面，小儿气血旺盛，食物容易消化，所以进食没有固定时间。然而肠胃尚且脆弱狭窄，所以小儿以喝奶为主，三岁后方可食用糕饼，五岁以后方可食用荤腥肉类，这样一生永无脾胃疾病。对于稠厚、黏腻、干燥、坚硬的一切鱼肉、水果、湿面，以及烧炙、煨炒、煎爆、发热难消化的食物，都应当禁止食用。妇人无知，害怕婴儿啼哭，什么都给吃，积久形成顽固疾病，即使后悔也来不及了。俗话说：爱惜孩子要爱惜饮食，吃热的不要吃冷的，吃软的不要吃硬的，吃少的不要吃多的，这是真正的妙法。另外，夜晚睡觉不要让婴儿枕着大人的手臂，必须做一个小枕头，或者用绿豆、通草、灯心草、菊花装入其中，让婴儿枕着，并且左右垫好，可以靠近乳母一侧，切忌让乳母的鼻风吹向婴儿囟门，导致形成风病。另外，覆盖衣被，必须露出婴儿头面部，如果一直仰卧，恐怕形成惊悸疾病，必须时时翻动变换体位。另外，小儿的衣服，必须使用七八十岁老人的旧裤子旧袄子，改作小儿衣衫，真气相互滋养，使婴儿长寿，且无疾病。如果是富贵人家，切不宜用新制的绫罗绸缎、新绵皮袄之类给婴儿披身。如果太温暖，则筋骨柔弱，不仅容易生病，而且折损福报。另外怀抱婴儿，宜常接触地气，使婴儿皮肤坚固。另外天气暖和时抱着婴儿，使其见风日，则气血坚刚，可耐受风寒。另外夜卧及怀抱，都忌讳竖抱头部，容易生惊风。另外养育子女的十法须知：一要背部保暖，二要腹部保暖，三要足部保暖，四要头部清凉，五要心胸清凉，六不要见到怪异事物，七脾胃常要温暖，八啼哭未定时不要让其饮乳，九不要服用轻粉、朱砂，十少洗澡。人能实行这几条，何必担心婴儿不能进入仁寿之门（健康长寿）。
Infants should not be overfed during breastfeeding, as excessive feeding leads to fullness and overflow, resulting in vomiting. If the infant is overfed, allowing them to suckle an empty breast can resolve the issue. For initial breastfeeding, residual old milk must first be squeezed out and discarded before offering the breast. In summer, failing to remove hot milk may cause the infant to vomit; in winter, failing to remove cold milk may induce coughing. When breastfeeding at night, one must use an arm to support the infant's head, keeping the breast level with the infant's head, so that the infant does not choke. When the mother feels sleepy, she should stop breastfeeding, lest the infant fall into a deep sleep unaware of satiety, leading to vomiting. If the mother is pregnant, breastfeeding may cause the infant to suffer from *Taihuang* (Neonatal Jaundice); if the mother is heavily intoxicated, it may cause *Jingre* (Febrile Convulsions); if the mother has overeaten, it may cause *Chuanji* (Rapid Breathing/Asthma); if the mother has engaged in sexual intercourse, it may cause *Ganshou* (Malnutrition/Emaciation); if the mother is extremely angry, it may cause *Diankuang* (Mania/Psychosis); if the mother has just vomited, it may cause *Xulei* (Weakness/Emaciation). Furthermore, in extreme summer heat, if the mother breastfeeds immediately after bathing, the infant may develop dysentery due to heat-toxin; in such cases, the milk must be rubbed and warmed for a long time before breastfeeding. Additionally, food should not be given immediately after breastfeeding, nor should breastfeeding occur immediately after eating; simultaneous intake makes digestion difficult, causing stagnation in the chest and pain, often leading to *Piji* (Masses), *Gan* syndrome, or *Jizhi* (Accumulations). If parents engage in intercourse while the infant is nearby and wakes up crying, breastfeeding should not be administered immediately, as the "Qi-milk" (milk influenced by physiological and emotional states) is unsettled, which may harm the infant. One must wait until calm has been restored before breastfeeding. Moreover, when an infant cries normally, one should not immediately pick them up to feed upon hearing the cry; allowing the infant to cry occasionally helps dissipate heat-toxins from the fetal period and resolves fetal fright. Within the first month, this practice can prevent conditions such as *Chongshe* (Double Tongue), *Mushe* (Wooden Tongue), *Koujin* (Trismus), *Taifeng* (Fetal Wind), and *Tai re* (Fetal Heat).
For newborns whose lanugo has not yet been shaved, avoiding hats allows them to avoid wind-cold invasion from childhood onwards, preventing chronic nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. One must not wrap the infant with oily hands. In spring, covering the head and wrapping the feet is contraindicated; in summer, drinking cold water and eating raw/cold foods are contraindicated; in winter, heating clothes with fire is contraindicated. Regarding diet, infants have vigorous Qi and Blood, and food digests easily, so there is no fixed schedule for feeding. However, their gastrointestinal tract is still fragile and narrow, so milk should be the primary sustenance. Solid foods like cakes and pastries should only be introduced after age three, and meat/fish after age five, ensuring lifelong health free from Spleen and Stomach disorders. Thick, sticky, dry, hard foods, including all fish, meat, fruits, wet dough, roasted, stewed, fried, or pan-fried items that generate heat and are hard to digest, should be strictly prohibited. Ignorant mothers, fearing the infant's crying, give everything they eat, accumulating stubborn diseases, regretting too late. As the saying goes: "To cherish the child, cherish their diet; eat warm, not cold; eat soft, not hard; eat little, not much." This is truly a wonderful method. At night, do not let the infant sleep on an adult's arm; instead, use a small pillow filled with mung beans, *Tongcao* (Akebiae Caulis), *Dengxincao* (Junci Medulla), or chrysanthemum flowers. Place it near the mother's side. Strictly avoid letting the mother's breath blow on the infant's fontanelle, which may induce wind diseases. Coverings should leave the infant's head and face exposed; constant supine positioning may lead to惊疾 (Palpitations/Fright disorders), so the position must be changed frequently. Infant clothing should be made from old pants and jackets of elderly people (70-80 years old), transformed into infant garments. The "True Qi" nourishes mutually, promoting longevity and health. Wealthy families should avoid using new silk, satin, or new cotton-padded coats for infants. Excessive warmth weakens bones and muscles, making the infant prone to illness and diminishing fortune. Holding the infant should involve exposure to ground Qi to strengthen the skin. On warm days, holding the infant outdoors exposes them to wind and sunlight, strengthening Qi and Blood to resist wind and cold. Vertical holding of the head during sleep or carrying is contraindicated, as it may induce *Jingfeng* (Convulsive Disorders). Ten methods for nurturing children are essential: 1. Keep the back warm; 2. Keep the abdomen warm; 3. Keep the feet warm; 4. Keep the head cool; 5. Keep the chest and heart cool; 6. Avoid exposing the infant to strange objects; 7. Keep the Spleen and Stomach warm; 8. Do not breastfeed while the infant is still crying; 9. Do not administer *Qingfen* (Calomel) or *Zhusha* (Cinnabar); 10. Limit bathing. By practicing these, one need not worry about the infant failing to reach the gate of benevolence and longevity.
