小儿脐带脱落放新瓦上，四围着火，烧至烟将尽，取出放地土上，用碗盖之，存性研为
末。将透明朱砂水飞坟极细末，若脐带有五分重，朱砂用一分五厘，生地、归身煎浓汁一二
蚬壳，和前二味抹儿上 间及乳母乳头上，一日之内服尽，次日大便下污秽浊垢之物，终身
永无痘疹之患。
初生小儿受风，鼻塞不能吮乳，不可轻易发散，惟用大天南星为末，生姜自然汁调成膏
，贴于囟门即愈。或以草乌、皂荚为末，葱汁捣膏，贴于囟门亦妙。
小儿偶因寒热不调，柔弱肌腠最易感冒发热，不必用药，但于其熟睡之时，夏以单被，
冬以棉被，蒙头松盖，勿壅其鼻，但以稍暖为度，使其鼻息出入皆此暖气，少顷则微汗津津
，务令上下稍透，则表里通达而热自退矣。若寒天衣被冷冽，汁不易得，则轻搂着身，赤体
相贴。而上覆其面，则无有不汗出者。此至妙之法，百发百中者也。若寒邪甚者，两三微汗
之，无有不愈。此法行于寅犯之时，则汗易出而效尤速。
初生有三病∶一口噤、一脐风、一撮口。名虽有三，病确一类，皆急症也。口噤尤甚，
过四月方免此症，百日内须防，病甚者多不治。
口噤∶口噤者，又名噤风。眼闭，口噤不乳，啼声如鸭，或舌上聚肉如粟米状，大小便
皆通。但口噤面赤多啼，口不吐白沫，与撮口异。
撮口∶撮口者，唇撮聚而不开，而目青黄，啼声不出，气自喘急，口吐白沫，舌强唇青
，聚口撮面，四肢冷，皆不可救也。其或肚胀筋青，呷肠卵疝，内气引伸，皆肠胃不通所致
脐风∶脐风者，脐肿腹胀，四肢柔直，啼不吮乳，甚则发搐。若脐边青黑，手拳口噤，
不治矣。
按∶以上三症，非独谓断脐之时为水湿风邪所乘，亦多因胎中受热，兼之风邪所激，里
气壅滞，婴儿在胎，口有液毒，即胎毒也。必须于生下未啼时，早为预备丝棉裹指挖去口中
浊秽，以清脏腑。然临产仓卒之际，多不暇及，及至啼而挖之，早已咽下，是以贵在神速，
早为留心，预备为要。如患三急症，多不可救，事已至此，不可因循畏缩，姑息误事。惟有
用古方天麻丸、定命丹、银朱丸，可量与图生，然七日内见者，恐亦难也。所以爱惜子嗣者
，于胎前、临产、断脐、保护等事，当留意焉。
凡小儿初生七日内或月内，若有脐风等症，急看小腹，必发青筋一道，行至肚生两丫叉
，及行至心不救。即以艾团灸其筋头上两丫叉尽头处，一灸青筋即缩下寸许，再灸再缩，以
青筋消尽为度。艾团不过如赤豆之大，或如麦子大。此法极为见效。
天麻丸∶治断脐后为水湿风冷所乘，入脐流于心脾，遂令肚胀脐肿，四肢柔直，日夜多
啼，不能吮乳。此方利惊化痰，并治钓肠、锁肚等症。南星二钱（炮），白附（炮）、牙硝、

小儿脐带脱落后，将其放置在新鲜瓦片上，四周点火焚烧，直到烟雾即将燃尽时取出，放在地上泥土上，用碗盖住，保留药性后研磨成粉末。将透明的朱砂用水飞法研磨至极细粉末，如果脐带有五分重，则朱砂用一分五厘，再用生地黄、当归身煎煮浓汁约一二蚬壳的量，与前两种药末混合，涂抹在婴儿身上及乳母乳头处，一天内服完，第二天大便排出污秽浊垢之物，终身不再患痘疹。
初生婴儿受风邪侵袭，鼻塞不能吸吮乳汁，不可轻易使用发散药物，只需用大天南星研成粉末，用生姜自然汁调成膏状，贴在囟门处即可痊愈。或者用草乌、皂荚研成粉末，葱汁捣成膏状，贴在囟门处也很奇妙。
小儿偶尔因寒热不调，柔弱肌肤腠理最容易感冒发热，不必用药，只需在其熟睡之时，夏天用单被，冬天用棉被，蒙头松盖，不要堵塞鼻子，只要以稍暖为度，使其鼻息出入都经过这股暖气，片刻之后微微出汗，务必让上下稍微透发，则表里通达而热自然消退。如果在寒冷天气衣被冷冽，汗不易得出，则轻轻搂抱贴身，赤裸身体相贴。而上覆其面，则没有不出汗的。这是极其奇妙的方法，百发百中。如果寒邪严重，两三次微汗之，没有不痊愈的。此法在寅时施行，则汗易出且效果更快。

After the umbilical cord of an infant falls off, place it on a new tile, surround it with fire, and burn until the smoke is almost gone. Take it out, place it on the ground soil, cover it with a bowl to preserve its properties, then grind into powder. Prepare transparent Cinnabar (Zhusha) by water levigation into an extremely fine powder. If the umbilical cord weighs 5 fen, use 1.5 fen of Cinnabar. Decoct fresh Rehmannia Root (Shengdi) and Angelica Sinensis Root (Guishen) to make a concentrated decoction of about one or two *xian* shells volume. Mix this liquid with the previous two powders and apply to the infant's body and the nursing mother's nipples. Administer within one day; the next day, foul turbid matter will be discharged in the stool, preventing smallpox and chickenpox for life.
For newborns suffering from wind invasion, causing nasal congestion and inability to suckle, do not easily use dispersing methods. Instead, use large Arisaema Rhizome (Datian Nanxing) ground into powder, mixed with natural ginger juice to form a paste, applied to the fontanelle for cure. Alternatively, use Aconite Lateral Root Preparatum (Caowu) and Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit (Zaojiao) ground into powder, mixed with scallion juice to form a paste, applied to the fontanelle, which is also excellent.
Infants occasionally suffer from cold-heat imbalance, making their delicate skin and pores prone to catching cold and fever. Medication is not necessary; instead, while the infant sleeps soundly, cover them with a single quilt in summer or a cotton quilt in winter, covering the head loosely without blocking the nose. Ensure the temperature is slightly warm so that the breath passes through this warm air. After a short while, slight sweating will occur. Ensure the warmth penetrates slightly up and down, allowing the exterior and interior to communicate, and the fever will naturally subside. In cold weather when bedding is chilly and sweat is hard to induce, gently hold the infant close, skin-to-skin contact, while covering the face. This method guarantees sweating. It is a highly effective method, hitting the mark every time. If the cold pathogen is severe, inducing slight sweating two or three times will ensure recovery. Performing this method during the Yin hour facilitates easier sweating and faster results.
There are three acute conditions in newborns: one is Jingjin (Jaw Lock), one is Umbilical Wind (Qifeng), and one is Suokou (Mouth Pinching). Although named differently, they belong to the same category of disease and are all acute conditions. Jingjin is particularly severe; infants may escape this condition after four months, but caution is needed within the first hundred days. Severe cases are often untreatable.
Jingjin (Jaw Lock): Also known as Jingfeng. The eyes are closed, the jaw is locked preventing suckling, the cry sounds like a duck, or there are flesh growths on the tongue resembling millet grains. Urination and defecation are normal. However, the face is red, crying frequently, and no white foam is spat from the mouth, distinguishing it from Suokou.
Suokou (Mouth Pinching): The lips are pinched together and cannot open, the eyes appear blue-yellow, there is no cry, breathing is rapid, white foam is spat from the mouth, the tongue is stiff, lips are cyanotic, the mouth and face are pinched, limbs are cold, and these cases are generally incurable. Abdominal distension, visible green veins, intestinal prolapse, or hernia, and internal qi extension are all caused by blockage in the intestines and stomach.
Qifeng (Umbilical Wind): Characterized by umbilical swelling and abdominal distension, rigid limbs, crying without suckling, and convulsions in severe cases. If the area around the umbilicus turns blue-black, hands are clenched, and the jaw is locked, it is untreatable.
Note: The above three conditions are not only caused by water-dampness and wind-cold invading at the time of umbilical cord cutting, but also often due to heat accumulated in the womb, stimulated by wind pathogens, leading to stagnation of internal qi. Infants in the womb have fluid toxins in their mouths, known as fetal toxin. It is essential to prepare silk cotton wrapped around a finger to clean the turbid matter from the mouth before the infant cries upon birth, to clear the zang-fu organs. However, during the haste of childbirth, this is often neglected. By the time the infant cries and cleaning is attempted, the toxin has already been swallowed. Therefore, speed and preparation are crucial. If these three acute conditions occur, they are mostly incurable. At this stage, one should not hesitate or shrink back, nor be lenient and cause delay. Only ancient formulas such as Tianma Wan (Gastrodia Pill), Dingming Dan (Life-Stabilizing Elixir), and Yinzhu Wan (Silver-Cinnabar Pill) can be used in measured amounts to attempt survival, though even if seen within seven days, recovery is difficult. Therefore, those who cherish their offspring must pay attention to matters before pregnancy, during labor, umbilical cord cutting, and postnatal care.
For any infant within seven days or a month of birth showing symptoms like Qifeng, urgently examine the lower abdomen. There will likely be a single green vein extending to the navel, branching into two forks, and if it reaches the heart, it is incurable. Immediately moxa-burn the ends of the two forks at the tip of the vein with a moxa cone. One application will cause the green vein to retract by about one cun; continue moxa-burning until the green vein disappears completely. The moxa cone should be the size of a red bean or a wheat grain. This method is highly effective.
Tianma Wan (Gastrodia Pill): Treats conditions where water-dampness and wind-cold invade after umbilical cord cutting, flowing into the umbilicus and affecting the heart and spleen, causing abdominal distension, umbilical swelling, rigid limbs, frequent crying day and night, and inability to suckle. This formula benefits calming tremors and resolving phlegm, and also treats Diaochang (Hooked Intestine) and Suodu (Locked Belly).

Zhu Yin Wan (Cinnabar-Silver Pill): Treats Qifeng with high fever and abundant phlegm, inverted eyes and jaw lock, expelling toxins accumulated in the womb. Also treats fright and accumulation, used according to the illness.
