不载，所以乳下婴儿有病难治者，皆为无所承据也。中古有巫妨者，立小儿《颅囟经》，以
占夭寿，判疾病死生，世相传授，始有小儿方焉。
儿新生出腹，先以指断口中恶血，去之，便洗浴，断齐竟，KT 袍讫，未与朱蜜也，
取甘草如手中指一节许，打碎，以水二合，煮取一合，以绵缠沾取与儿吮之，如朱蜜法。连
吮，计可得一蚬壳入腹止，儿当快吐，吐去胸中恶汁也。吐后消息，计如饥渴，顷复更与之。
若前服及更与并不吐者，但稍与，尽此一合止。得吐恶汁，令儿心神智能无病。都不吐者，
是不含恶血者，勿复与之。
小儿初生三日，可与朱蜜方，令儿镇精神魂魄。
真珠精炼研者，如大豆多，以赤蜜一蚬壳和之。以绵缠沾取，与小儿吮之，得三沾止。
一日令尽此一豆多耳，作三日与之，则用三大豆多也。不宜多，多则令儿脾胃冷，腹胀。
朱蜜与竟，即可与牛黄。牛黄益肝胆，除热定惊，辟恶气也。作法如朱蜜，多少一法同

凡初生儿，其口中舌上有白物如米屑，名为鹅口，及鼻外亦有。此由儿在胞中之时，其
母嗜嚼米使之然也。此物当时不去之，儿得吞者化为虫也，宜便去之，治之方。
以发缠钗头，沾井花水撩拭之，三四旦，如此便脱去也。犹不去者，可煮栗蒺汁，令浓，

儿初生之时，有口中吞下膜如石榴子中隔者，连其舌下，名之连舌，当时不 断者，后
喜令儿言语不发转舌也，治之方。
可以爪 断之，微有血出无害，若血出不止者，可烧发作末敷之，血止良。
乳母者，其血气为乳汁也。五情善恶，血气所生也。乳儿者，皆宜慎喜怒。

《要方》第八卷所治如下：
治疗小儿各种疾病的汤剂方
治疗小儿各种疾病的丸剂和散剂众多方子
治疗小儿各种疾病的薄贴、洗浴、膏剂、散剂及针灸等方法
以上三类
凡人年龄六岁以上称为“小”，十六岁以上称为“少”，三十岁以上称为“壮”，五十岁以上称为“老”。六岁以下婴儿的疾病，因医书未记载，所以哺乳期的婴儿生病难以治疗，是因为没有现成的依据可循。中古时期有位叫巫妨的人，编写了小儿《颅囟经》，用来占卜夭寿，判断疾病生死，世人相互传授，从此才有了小儿方剂。
婴儿刚出生离开母腹，先用手指掐断并清除口中的恶血，去除后，进行洗浴。剪断脐带完毕，包裹好襁褓之后，尚未喂朱蜜之前，取如手中指一节长短的甘草，打碎，用水二合，煎煮取一合，用绵絮缠绕沾取药汁给婴儿吮吸，如同喂朱蜜的方法。连续吮吸，大约摄入一蚬壳量的药汁为止，婴儿应当会痛快呕吐，吐出胸中的恶汁。吐完后观察情况，等到婴儿感到饥渴时，再给予服用。如果之前服药或再次给予并不呕吐，只需稍微给予，喝完这一合为止。若能吐出恶汁，能使婴儿的心神智能不受疾病侵害。如果完全不吐，说明婴儿未含恶血，不要再给他服用。
小儿初生三日，可以给予朱蜜方，以安定婴儿的精神魂魄。
真珠经过精炼研磨，量如大豆大小，用赤蜜一蚬壳调和。用绵絮缠绕沾取，给小儿吮吸，沾取三次为止。一天只让婴儿吃这么多豆大的药量，分三天给予，则总共使用三大豆多的量。不宜多服，多了会使婴儿脾胃受寒，导致腹胀。
喂完朱蜜后，就可以喂牛黄。牛黄能补益肝胆，清除热邪，定惊安神，驱避恶气。制作方法与朱蜜相同，用量也一致。
凡是初生婴儿，口中舌头上有白色物质像米屑一样，名为鹅口疮，鼻孔外也有。这是由于婴儿在母体胞中时，母亲嗜好吃糯米所致。这种病当时若不除去，婴儿吞食后会化为虫，应当立即去除，治疗方法如下。
用头发缠住钗头，沾井花水撩拭患处，三四天早晨如此操作，就会脱落。如果仍不脱落，可以煮栗蒺汁，使其浓稠，按上述方法擦拭。若春冬季节没有栗蒺，可以煮栗树皮，用法同上，均有效。另一种说法是：钗头着处的污垢，应置于屠苏水中，不要让婴儿口中落入吞下。
婴儿初生时，口中吞下一层薄膜，像石榴子中间的隔膜，连着舌下，名叫连舌症。当时如果不割断，后来常导致婴儿言语不清、舌头转动不灵活。治疗方法如下。
可以用指甲掐断它，微微出血无害；如果血流不止，可以将头发烧成灰末敷在伤口上，血止即好。
乳母的血气转化为乳汁。人的喜怒等情绪善恶，是由血气产生的。哺乳婴儿，都应当谨慎控制喜怒情绪。
关于乳母的形体相貌适宜与否，征兆很多，不能详尽列举。现在只要求乳母没有狐臭、瘿瘤、甲状腺肿、异味、面瘫、疥癣瘙痒、白秃疮、麻风溃疡、唇裂、耳聋、鼻塞、癫痫眩晕等疾病，没有这些病的，就可以给婴儿喂奶。老师看到旧的灸盘痕迹，便知道……

治疗小儿数岁还不会行走的方剂。
取枣肉喂养，每日三次，就能站立行走。
治疗小儿误吞铁珠子，如狸豆大小，经过一年不造成危害，后来变得消瘦羸弱，饮食不能滋养肌肤，时常腹泻，或有寒热症状，服用各种药物自我治疗，反而加重无效。有医生诊断说：这是吞入异物无法消化，制作汤药服用，吞入的异物不去除，终究不能痊愈。让家属调查，家属说：孩子近年常玩弄十六颗铁珠，发现丢失一颗，担心是被吞下，多年来一直积累，确实没怀疑过。
医生仔细诊察后才相信，因此导致生病。于是开具汤药，患病即愈，随后又继续调理，孩子的肌肤变得丰满润泽，但忘记记录这个方子，详细记录下来。
又有一家女子，约六七岁，患腹痛，母亲给她按摩，感觉手下有一横物在孩子肉里，正好平横着。问孩子说：怎么针扎在肉里了？大惊怪。脱衣查看，皮肤完好干净没有刺处，按压孩子也不觉得针痛，只觉得肚子里痛。其母亲就用指甲重重掐压，那横物在指甲下折断成两段，也不偏痛。请医生诊断共同察看，像是吞下了针刺物。这婴儿时期，未曾被噎住，只是恐怕养育时，母亲常带针，裸抱横放孩子身体，针进入孩子肌肤中，孩子即使觉得痛哭喊，给奶吃躺下休息就停止了，遂成不觉，如今因腹痛，按摩才知晓。铁遇到土木潮湿，都会生锈易朽，针在人肉中经过数年，肉得到血气滋养，针也会腐朽，所以掐压即折断，导致患腹痛不安，只要治疗腹痛，服用温中汤，心腹痛痊愈。后来长大出嫁，因生产哺乳，没听说针处成为祸患。所以记录下来。

The following are treated in Volume 8 of Yao Fang:
Decoctions for various diseases in children
Pills and powders for various diseases in children
Plasters, baths, ointments, powders, and acupuncture methods for various diseases in children
These three categories
A person aged six and above is called "Xiao" (small/young child), sixteen and above is "Shao" (adolescent), thirty and above is "Zhuang" (adult/strong), and fifty and above is "Lao" (old). Diseases in infants under six are not recorded in medical texts; thus, illnesses in nursing infants are difficult to treat because there are no established precedents. In the middle ancient period, a man named Wu Fang compiled the *Cranial Fontanelle Classic* for children, used to predict lifespan and judge disease prognosis. This was passed down through generations, marking the beginning of pediatric prescriptions.
When an infant is born, use a finger to clear the bad blood from the mouth. After bathing and cutting the umbilical cord, and before wrapping the swaddling clothes and administering vermilion honey, take a piece of Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) about the size of the middle finger joint. Crush it, decoct in two he of water until one he remains. Wrap cotton around the liquid and let the infant suck it, similar to the method for vermilion honey. Continue sucking until about one xian shell amount enters the stomach. The infant should vomit vigorously, expelling bad fluid from the chest. After vomiting, wait until the infant feels hungry or thirsty, then offer again. If the previous dose or subsequent doses do not cause vomiting, just give small amounts until the entire he is consumed. Vomiting the bad fluid ensures the infant's mind and spirit remain healthy. If no vomiting occurs, it means the infant did not swallow bad blood; do not administer further.
On the third day after birth, administer the Vermilion Honey formula to stabilize the infant's spirit and soul.
Refined and ground Zhen Zhu (Margarita), amount like a soybean, mix with one xian shell of Chi Mi (Red Honey). Wrap cotton around it and let the infant suck. Stop after three sips. Give this amount over three days (totaling three soybeans). Do not give too much, as it may cause cold spleen and stomach and abdominal distension.
After Vermilion Honey, administer Niu Huang (Calculus Bovis). Niu Huang benefits the liver and gallbladder, clears heat, calms fright, and wards off evil qi. Prepare as with Vermilion Honey, using the same dosage.
For newborns with white spots like rice grains on the tongue and mouth, known as Goose Mouth (E Kou), including outside the nose. This is caused by the mother craving sticky rice during pregnancy. If not removed immediately, swallowing it may turn into worms. Remove it promptly. Treatment:
Wrap a hairpin tip with hair, dip in well water, and wipe the area. Do this for three to four mornings until it falls off. If it persists, boil Li Ji (Tribulus terrestris) juice to make it thick and wipe as above. In spring and winter without Li Ji, boil Li Tree Bark instead. All are effective. Another method: Place the debris from the hairpin tip in Tusu Water, ensuring the infant does not swallow it.
If an infant swallows a membrane resembling the septum of a pomegranate seed, attached to the underside of the tongue, it is called Tongue-Tie (Lian She). If not cut initially, it may hinder speech and tongue movement later. Treatment:
Pinch and cut it with fingernails. Slight bleeding is harmless. If bleeding does not stop, apply burned hair powder to stop the bleeding.
Breast milk is derived from the mother's blood and qi. Emotions affect blood and qi. Nursing mothers should guard against extreme joy and anger.
Regarding suitable characteristics for nursing mothers, there are many signs, but here we list only contraindications. Mothers with body odor, goiter, thyroid swelling, foul smell, facial paralysis, scabies, tinea versicolor, alopecia areata, leprosy ulcers, cleft lip, deafness, nasal congestion, epilepsy, or dizziness should not nurse. If free of these, they may nurse. Observing old moxibustion marks on the skin indicates...

Case of infant swallowing an iron bead the size of a civet bean. No harm for a year, but later became emaciated, failed to gain flesh, suffered diarrhea, and alternating chills and fever. Self-medication worsened the condition. A physician diagnosed undigested foreign body. Investigation revealed the child had lost one of sixteen iron beads played with recently. The physician confirmed the diagnosis and prescribed decoction. The illness resolved, and the child regained health. The prescription was forgotten but recorded here.
Another case: A girl of six or seven suffered abdominal pain. Her mother felt a horizontal object in the flesh during massage. Upon inquiry, the child denied a needle. Inspection showed intact skin. Pressing caused no pain from a needle, only abdominal pain. The mother pinched the area hard, breaking the object into two pieces under her nail, without lateral pain. A physician suspected swallowed needle. History suggested the mother carried needles while holding the naked infant, causing a needle to enter the skin. The infant cried but stopped when fed and rested, leading to insensitivity. Years later, abdominal pain revealed it. Iron rusts in moist environments; inside flesh for years, blood and qi corrode the needle, making it brittle enough to break when pinched. Treating the abdominal pain with a Warming Middle Decoction cured the discomfort. The girl married later and had no issues during childbirth regarding the needle site. Recorded for reference.
