崔氏治疗新生儿，立即用绵包裹手指擦拭婴儿口腔及舌面上的青色泥垢和恶血。这被称为“玉衔”。另一种写法作“衡”，如果不及时擦拭，一旦啼哭一声，这些污物就会进入腹中，导致各种疾病产生。
又有一方治疗婴儿出生落地后不发声。
取一器温热水灌入其口中，片刻之后自然就会啼哭。
又有婴儿出生不发声的情况，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，使气进入腹中，然后对着婴儿呵气达一百次，啼哭声自然会发出。
又一方：
用葱白轻轻拍打婴儿，婴儿就会啼哭。
又一方：
新生儿出生时，应当立即抱起，如果举抱迟缓，会导致寒气侵入腹部，引起腹内雷鸣般的肠鸣音。应当先给婴儿洗澡，然后迅速剪断脐带，不能用刀子切割，必须让人隔着单层衣物咬断脐带，同时用暖气呵七遍，然后再缠绕打结。留下的脐带长度应当长至婴儿脚背处，如果太短就会导致受寒，引起婴儿腹部不调，经常腹泻。如果先断脐再洗澡，水就会进入脐部，进水则引发腹痛，脐部……
又有婴儿脐部进水及受寒的情况，会导致婴儿腹部绞痛，剧烈哭闹呼叫，面色青黑。这是脐部进水的过错，婴儿尿液清（一说粪便呈青色）。
应当灸治并用粉絮熨烫，如果不及时治疗和护理，脐部肿胀，应当在脐中根据病情轻重施灸。病情重的可以直接施灸，甚至可达八九十个艾炷；如果病情轻，脐部不显著肿胀，只是渗出液体，时常哭闹的，只需捣碎当归末混合胡粉外敷，并每天用艾絮熨烫，直到满百日。
又有新生儿护理方法。
宜用父亲穿过的旧衣服包裹婴儿，如果是女孩宜用母亲穿过的旧衣服，不要用新丝绸，务必遵循此法，可使婴儿长寿。
又出生后一个月内，婴儿的衣服都必须用旧的绵帛制作才好，婴儿穿衣特别忌讳过于浓密温热，务必谨慎。
又有婴儿洗浴断脐完毕后，怀抱完毕，此时不可给予朱砂蜜，宜给予甘草汤。取甘草约中指一节长度，捶碎，用水二合煎煮，取汁一合，用绵缠裹沾取汁液让婴儿吮吸，总量约一蚬壳量即可停止，婴儿会畅快呕吐，吐出心胸中的恶浊汁液。如果发生呕吐，剩余的药就不必再喂，如果未发生呕吐，可根据饥渴情况，片刻后再喂与前一次相同的药量，如果再喂仍不呕吐，就少量多次给予，直到喝完这一合为止，若能吐出恶浊汁液，能使婴儿心神智慧不受病邪侵害。如果吮吸完一合仍未呕吐，说明婴儿体内不含恶血，不要再喂，此时才可以给予朱砂蜜，以镇摄心神、安定魂魄。
又有新生儿出生后三天内，必须给予朱砂蜜，只不宜多服，多了会使婴儿脾胃寒冷，腹胀，喜欢患阴痫、气急，进而变成噤风而死。给予朱砂蜜的方法：
取真经飞炼的朱砂如大豆大小，用赤蜜一蚬壳调和，用绵缠裹沾取让婴儿吮吸，沾三次即止，一天内吃完这一豆大小的量，可分三天给予，那么就用三豆大小的量，也不要超过，超过此量则会伤害婴儿。给予朱砂蜜后，可给予牛黄，用量与朱砂蜜相当。牛黄有益肝胆，清热，定精神，止惊避恶气，消除婴儿百病。三天后应开通肠胃，帮助消化谷物之神，可研磨米制成浓稠如乳酪般的米饮，用大豆粒的大小量让婴儿吮吸。每次吮吸三豆粒大小即止，每天三次，满七天后方可开始喂食辅食。
又有婴儿出生十天，开始喂食如枣核大小的食物，二十天加倍，五十天如弹丸大小，一百天如枣子大小。如果乳汁不足，不能依照此法，应当用心意少量逐渐增加。如果在二十天就开始喂食辅食，会使婴儿无病，如果婴儿过早喂食辅食且量多，会导致婴儿头面身体容易生疮，痊愈后又复发，使婴儿虚弱难以长大。哺乳不要过饱，过饱会导致呕吐。观察婴儿呕吐的情况，是大饱的表现，应当用空乳喂养，即可消化。夏天不除去热性乳汁，会导致婴儿呕吐逆乱；冬天不除去寒性乳汁，会导致婴儿咳嗽腹泻。乳母喂奶前，应当先用手按摩散开热气，不要让乳汁喷射而出，以免婴儿呛噎。如果发生呛噎，应立即移开乳房，让婴儿气息平稳，再继续哺乳。如此反复十次或五次，视婴儿饥饱程度来节制，一天之中哺乳几次为足，以此作为常规标准。又要常去除积存的宿乳。乳母与婴儿同卧时，应当用手臂给婴儿当枕头，使乳房与婴儿头部平齐，才可以哺乳，以免婴儿呛噎。母亲想睡觉时就移开乳房，不要让乳汁填满婴儿的鼻口，否则婴儿不知饥饿。
又有治疗新生儿出现口噤不开、拒绝吃奶的方子。
赤足蜈蚣半条，去足焙烤至焦，研成细末并用绢筛过滤，用猪乳二合调和，分三四次服用，病愈。
又有治疗婴儿患口噤且身体发热的方子。
取温热的竹沥二合，分四五次服用。
又有新生儿，千万不要逆向施灸，施灸会让婴儿忍受疼痛，扰动五脏经脉，因此容易形成癫痫，所以乡野间的婴儿，顺应自然规律，都没有这种夭折的现象。
又有新生儿患有鹅口疮的，其舌面上有白色碎屑如米粒状，严重的鼻翼外侧也有。治疗方法：
用头发缠住棉头，沾井花水撩拭患处，连续三个早晨这样做即可去除，如果不愈，可煮栗子皮汁使其浓稠，用棉头沾拭。如果没有栗子皮，可煮栗木皮，方法同井花水。（《千金方》同样记载于第十上卷中）
文仲治疗婴儿出生时有连舌症，舌下有薄膜如石榴籽状，中间隔断连接着舌下。逐渐导致婴儿声音发不出、转动困难的方法：
用指甲掐断它，微微出血无害，如果血流不止，可将头发烧成灰末敷在伤口上，即可止血。（《千金方》相同）
又有婴儿出生六七日后，血气收敛形成肌肉，则口腔、舌头、喉咙、脸颊内部都清净了。如果喉咙里舌上有异物，像芦管盛水状，或者悬雍垂有肿胀突起，用绵缠住长针，留出刀刃部分如粟米大小，刺破它，使气体泄出，排出青黄赤色的血汁。刺一次即止，观察一天若不消退，再刺，不超过三次自然消退。或者其余小的未消退，刺三次也停止，自然就会消退。有的长在舌下的，名叫重舌；有的长在脸颊内部及上颚的，名叫重腭；有的长在齿龈上的，名叫重龈，都要刺破排出血汁，病愈即止。（《千金方》相同）
又有治疗婴儿刚出生时，骨肉尚未收敛，肌肉还是血液状态，血液凝固才坚硬形成肌肉。如果血液阻滞败坏，不能形成肌肉，则会使面部、眼睛周围、鼻子左右全部发黄，啼哭或不啼哭，闭目，聚口撮面，口中干燥，四肢不能伸缩，这些都是血脉不收敛的表现，容易不育。对于这种情况，适宜给予龙胆汤方，在客忤部中的十味药即是。（《千金方》……）
Cui Shi's treatment for newborns: Immediately wrap a finger with cotton and wipe the blue mud and evil blood from the infant's mouth and tongue. This is called "Yu Xian" (Jade Restraint). It is also written as "Heng". If not wiped promptly, once the infant cries, these impurities will enter the abdomen and cause various diseases.
Another prescription for infants who do not make a sound upon landing after birth:
Pour a vessel of warm water into the infant's mouth; within a short while, the infant will naturally cry.
For infants who do not cry at birth, this is due to Qi deficiency caused by difficult labor. One may grasp the umbilical cord and stroke it towards the body to guide Qi into the abdomen, then blow air onto the infant one hundred times, and the crying sound will spontaneously emerge.
Another prescription:
Gently beat the infant with green onion whites, and the infant will cry.
Another prescription:
When a newborn is born, they should be lifted immediately. Delaying this may cause cold pathogen invasion into the abdomen, resulting in borborygmus (rumbling sounds in the abdomen). The infant should first be bathed, and then the umbilical cord should be cut quickly. Do not use a knife; instead, have someone bite through the cord through a single layer of clothing. Simultaneously, breathe warm air onto the stump seven times before tying it off. The remaining umbilical cord should be long enough to reach the infant's foot dorsum. If too short, it leads to cold invasion, causing abdominal dysfunction and frequent diarrhea. If the cord is cut before bathing, water may enter the umbilicus, leading to abdominal pain...
If the infant's umbilicus suffers from water entry and cold invasion, it causes severe abdominal colic, frantic crying, and cyanotic-black complexion. This is due to water entering the umbilicus; the infant's urine may be clear (or stool green).
Moxibustion and warming with powder-soaked cotton wadding should be applied. If not treated and cared for promptly, the umbilicus may swell. Moxibustion should be performed on the umbilicus according to severity. For severe cases, direct moxibustion can be applied, up to 80-90 moxa cones. For mild cases where the umbilicus is not significantly swollen but exudes fluid and the infant cries frequently, grind Angelica sinensis root (Danggui) powder mixed with lead white (Hufen) and apply topically, while daily warming with moxa wadding until the infant reaches 100 days old.
Methods for newborn care:
It is advisable to wrap the infant in the father's worn clothes; if female, the mother's worn clothes are suitable. Do not use new silk. Strictly adhere to this to ensure longevity.
Within the first month, the infant's clothing must be made of old cotton or silk. It is particularly crucial to avoid thick and hot fabrics; exercise extreme caution.
After bathing and cutting the umbilical cord, and after holding the infant, do not administer Cinnabar Honey (Zhumi) yet. Instead, provide Licorice Decoction (Gancao Tang). Take licorice root approximately the length of one interphalangeal joint of the middle finger, crush it, and decoct in two he of water to obtain one he of liquid. Wrap cotton around the tip, dip it in the liquid, and let the infant suckle. Stop when about one clam shell volume has been ingested. The infant should vomit comfortably, expelling evil fluids from the chest and heart. If vomiting occurs, discontinue the medicine. If no vomiting occurs, assess hunger/thirst and administer the same dose after a short interval. If still no vomiting, administer slowly until the entire he is consumed. Vomiting expels evil fluids, protecting the infant's spirit and wisdom. If the infant sucks the entire he without vomiting, it indicates no evil blood remains; stop administration. Only then can Cinnabar Honey be given to calm the spirit and anchor the soul.
For the first three days after birth, Cinnabar Honey should be administered, but sparingly. Excessive amounts cause cold spleen/stomach, abdominal distension, predisposition to Yin epilepsy and急促 breathing, potentially leading to death from Jin Feng (lockjaw). Method for Cinnabar Honey:
Take genuine cinnabar refined through scripture, sized like a soybean, mix with one clam shell of red honey. Dip cotton-wrapped tip and let the infant suckle, stopping after three dips. Consume this amount over three days. Do not exceed this, as it harms the infant. After Cinnabar Honey, administer Rhinoceros Horn (Niu Huang) in equivalent amounts. Niu Huang benefits liver/gallbladder, clears heat, calms spirit, stops convulsions, wards off evil qi, and cures myriad diseases. After three days, open the intestines/stomach and aid digestion. Grind rice into a thick drink resembling yogurt/cheese consistency. Feed small amounts (soybean-sized) via suckling. Stop after three soybeans. Administer three times daily. Solid food (pu) can begin after seven days.
At ten days, feed solids the size of a jujube pit; double at twenty days; size of a pellet at fifty days; size of a jujube at one hundred days. If milk is insufficient, adjust carefully by increasing gradually. Feeding solids at twenty days prevents disease. Early or excessive feeding causes sores on head/body that recur, leading to weakness and poor growth. Do not overfeed; overfeeding causes vomiting. Observe vomiting as a sign of fullness; offer empty breast to aid digestion. In summer, remove hot milk to prevent regurgitation; in winter, remove cold milk to prevent cough and diarrhea. Before nursing, massage breasts to dissipate heat and prevent forceful ejection which may cause choking. If choking occurs, remove breast, allow breathing to stabilize, then resume. Repeat 5-10 times, adjusting based on hunger/fullness. Determine daily frequency as standard. Regularly express residual milk. When sleeping with the infant, use arm as pillow to align breast height with infant's head to prevent choking. Remove breast if mother sleeps to prevent suffocation; otherwise, infant may become unaware of hunger.
Prescription for newborn lockjaw refusing milk:
Half a red-footed centipede, feet removed, roasted until scorched, ground fine and sifted through silk. Mix with two he of pig milk, divide into 3-4 doses. Cure achieved.
Prescription for lockjaw with fever:
Warm bamboo sap (Zhuli), two he, divided into 4-5 doses.
For newborns, reverse moxibustion is strictly forbidden. It causes pain, disturbs the five meridians, and predisposes to epilepsy. Rural children, left to nature, rarely suffer such premature death.
Treatment for newborn thrush (E Kou): White patches like rice grains on tongue, possibly extending to nose in severe cases. Method: Wrap cotton on hair stick, dip in well water, and dab/swab. Do this for three mornings. If ineffective, boil chestnut bark juice until concentrated, dab with cotton. If no chestnut bark, use chestnut wood bark similarly. (Same as Qianjin Fang, Vol 10 Upper).
Wen Zhong treats congenital ankyloglossia (tongue-tie), where a membrane like a pomegranate seed connects under the tongue. Gradually prevents speech and movement. Method: Pinch and break with fingernail. Slight bleeding is harmless. If bleeding persists, burn hair to ash and apply to stop bleeding. (Same as Qianjin Fang).
By 6-7 days post-birth, blood/qi converges into muscle, clearing oral/pharyngeal areas. If foreign matter appears in throat/tongue resembling reed tube filled with water, or swelling of uvula/frenulum: Wrap cotton on long needle, expose blade tip size of millet grain, puncture to release qi and drain yellow/red/blood fluid. Puncture once, observe. If unresolved, puncture again. Max three punctures for resolution. Similar conditions under tongue named Chong She (Double Tongue); inside cheeks/palate named Chong E (Double Palate); on gums named Chong Yin (Double Gums). All treated by puncturing to drain fluid. Cure achieved. (Same as Qianjin Fang).
Regarding newborns whose flesh/muscle has not yet consolidated from blood: Blood coagulates to form firm muscle. If blood stagnates and rots, failing to form muscle, the face, eyes, and perioral area turn yellow. Infant may cry or not, closes eyes, puckers mouth, dry mouth, limbs unable to extend/flex. These indicate failure of blood vessels to converge, often leading to non-viability. For such cases, Long Dan Tang (Gentian Decoction) is indicated, found in the Ke Wu section, consisting of ten ingredients. (Qianjin...)
