时，母取冷过度，冷气入胞，令儿着冷，至儿生出，则喜腹痛，不肯饮乳，此则胎寒，亦名难乳也。

《巢氏病源》中关于小儿难乳的论述：凡是新生儿刚出生时，接生的人看到婴儿娩出后，应立即用手清理擦拭婴儿的口部，不要让恶血进入婴儿口中，这样婴儿的腹部就能调和，不会生病。如果清理擦拭不及时，导致恶血和污秽的露液被婴儿咽下进入腹部，会引起心腹痞满、气短，婴儿无法吃奶，这称为“难乳”。另外，胎儿在母体时，母亲过度贪凉，寒气侵入胞宫，使胎儿受寒，等到婴儿出生后，就会喜欢腹痛，不肯吃奶，这是胎寒，也称为难乳。
《仙人水鉴》记载：婴儿出生七天内不开口，滴入乳汁不下，适宜服用此方。
土虫三个，用水研磨；少许牙硝，效力不可轻视。少量雄黄，必须使用；一片金箔，分为四次服用。（每次用一角半的量。）不论哪个季节，都用冷水调服，滴入口中便能挽回生命。此方自有仙人的神力，特别能立即救助新生的婴儿。

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases in Chao's Work) regarding the syndrome of difficult breastfeeding in infants: Whenever a newborn is delivered, the midwife or attendant should immediately wipe and clean the infant's mouth with their hand upon seeing the baby emerge, preventing foul blood from entering the infant's mouth. This ensures the harmony of the infant's abdomen and prevents disease. If cleaning is not timely, foul blood and impure lochia may be swallowed into the abdomen, causing epigastric and abdominal fullness, shortness of breath, and an inability to suckle milk; this is termed "Nan Ru" (Difficult Breastfeeding). Furthermore, if the mother excessively consumes cold substances during pregnancy, cold qi enters the uterus, causing the fetus to become cold. After birth, the infant will suffer from abdominal pain and refuse to suckle; this is known as "Tai Han" (Fetal Cold), also called "Nan Ru".
*Xian Ren Shui Jian* (Immortal's Water Mirror) states: If an infant does not open its mouth within seven days after birth and cannot take milk, this prescription is suitable.
Three earthworms, ground with water; a small amount of Yaxiao (Mirabilite) should not be underestimated. A little Xionghuang (Realgar) must be used; one piece of Jinbo (Gold Leaf) divided into four doses. (Use half a tael per dose.) Regardless of the season, mix with cold water; a single drop entering the mouth can restore life. This prescription possesses the power of immortals, specifically capable of instantly rescuing newborns.
*Waitai Miyao* (Secret Essentials from the Imperial Library) records Liu's prescription for treating newborns who do not suckle.
Take two he of breast milk and one cun of scallion white (white part of the green onion), boil together for one boiling point, remove the scallion, and administer to the infant. The infant will then be able to suckle, with immediate effect. Alternatively, administer using clam juice.

Take one zi (a traditional weight measure approximating the size of a sesame seed) of Shexiang (Moschus), grind finely, and administer with breast milk.
*Taiping Shenghui Fang* Moxibustion Method: For newborns presenting with Jing Feng (Lockjaw/Neonatal Tetanus) within two to seven days after birth, characterized by inability to suckle and excessive crying. This is caused by external wind pathogens invading the navel, flowing along meridians to the Heart and Spleen organs, resulting in tongue stiffness, lip spasms, and inability to suckle. Pharmacological treatment rarely achieves complete cure; the primary approach is expelling external wind. Moxibustate Chengjiang (CV24) with seven moxa cones, located in the depression below the lower lip border. Next, moxibustate Jiache (ST6) bilaterally, seven moxa cones each, located posterior to the mandible angle below the ear, with moxa cone size resembling bird droppings.
*Taiping Shenghui Fang* Another Moxibustion Method: For infants with hoarse sounds in the throat and difficulty swallowing milk. Moxibustate Xuanji (RN21) with three moxa cones, located in the depression one cun below Tiantu (RN22), with moxa cone size resembling wheat grains.
