小儿初生，或不能发声，谓之梦生。多不知救，深为可悯。切勿断脐带，速用明火将胞衣炙暖，使暖气入
儿腹，更以热汤荡洗脐带；却取猫一只，以布袋裹其头足，使伶俐妇人，拿住猫头，向儿耳边，以口啮猫耳，
猫必大叫一声，儿即醒而开声，方可剪断脐带。
又有因难产，或冒风寒，收之稍迟，儿气欲绝，不能啼者，亦以前法温暖之，令暖气入腹，气回即苏，更
令父母之真气呵而接之。
凡断脐带，世俗皆以刀剪断之，最为不妥。但以大纸捻蘸香油，燃火于脐带上，烧之令断。盖所以补接其
阳气，不但为回生起死之良法，且日后无伤寒泄泻之患。
初生肾缩，乃受寒气所致。用硫黄、吴茱萸各三钱，研极细末，捣取葱汁调药，涂脐腹；另以蛇床子烧烟，
熏之即伸。
闷脐生者，儿粪门有一膜，闷住儿气，故不能出声，拍之则膜破而叫矣。又有用轻巧妇人，以银簪轻轻挑
破为甚便；或不能挑，急以暖衣紧包，勿令散放，以热水浸其胞衣，寒天则以火炙之，久则热气入腹而气内鼓，
其膜自破，声自出。
又有生下无谷道者，乃肺热闭于肛门。急
以金银或玉簪，看其端的刺穿之，或以火针刺穿，但不可深。以油纸捻套住，免其再合。
儿初生下，遍身如鱼脬，或如水晶，破则流水，以密陀僧研细末惨之。
初生遍身无皮，俱红肉，急以早米粉干扑之，候其皮生全则止。
初生大小便不通，腹胀危急者，急令妇人口含热水，吮儿之前后心，并脐下、手足心共七处。每一处吮吸
七口，以肉色红赤为止，须臾即通。又方，以葱汁、人乳各半调匀，抹儿口中，须臾即通。
初生不尿，以葱一根切碎，人乳半杯同煎，去葱取乳，分作四次服，即尿。不吮乳者，服此即吮乳。
小儿刚出生时，如果无法发出声音，被称为“梦生”（因窒息导致暂时性无声）。人们大多不知道如何救治，这非常令人怜悯。千万不要切断脐带，应迅速用明火将胎盘（胞衣）烤暖，使暖气进入婴儿腹部，再用热汤清洗脐带；接着取一只猫，用布袋包裹住猫的头部和四肢，让灵巧的妇女抓住猫头，对着婴儿的耳朵，让猫咬自己的耳朵，猫必定会大叫一声，婴儿随即苏醒并出声，这时才可以剪断脐带。
又有因为难产，或者受风寒侵袭，接生稍晚，导致婴儿气息微弱欲绝、不能啼哭的情况，也先用上述方法温暖身体，让暖气进入腹部，待气机恢复即可苏醒，再让父母用口呵气以接续其真气。
凡是剪断脐带，世俗通常用刀或剪刀切断，这是最不妥当的。应该用大纸捻蘸上香油，在脐带上点燃火烧，使其烧断。这样做是为了补接阳气，这不仅是一种起死回生的好方法，而且日后也不会患伤寒泄泻等疾病。
初生儿出现“肾缩”（阴囊及阴茎内缩），是受到寒气所致。使用硫黄、吴茱萸各三钱，研磨成极细粉末，用葱汁调和药物，涂抹在脐部和腹部；另外燃烧蛇床子产生烟雾，熏蒸患处，症状即可缓解伸展。
患有“闷脐”（肛门闭锁）出生的婴儿，肛门处有一层膜堵塞了气道，所以不能出声，拍打背部则膜破而能叫了。也有由灵巧的妇女用银簪轻轻挑破更为方便；如果不能挑破，急忙用温暖的衣物紧紧包裹，不要让它散开，用热水浸泡胎盘，寒冷天气则用火烤热，时间久了热气进入腹部并在体内鼓动，那层膜自然破裂，哭声自然发出。
又有出生后没有肛门的，这是由于肺热闭塞于肛门所致。急忙用金银或玉簪，找准位置刺穿它，或者用火针刺穿，但不可刺得太深。用油纸捻套住创口，防止其再次闭合。
婴儿刚出生，全身像鱼鳔一样透明，或者像水晶一样，弄破后流出液体，用密陀僧（铅丹/氧化铅）研成细末敷涂。
初生儿全身无皮，全是红肉，急忙用早米粉干粉扑在身上，等到皮肤长全就停止。
初生儿大小便不通，腹胀危急的，急忙让妇女口含热水，吮吸婴儿的前心、后背以及脐下、手足心共七处。每一处吮吸七口，直到皮肤变红为止，一会儿就能通畅。另一个方子，用葱汁和人乳各一半调匀，涂抹在婴儿口中，一会儿就能通畅。
When a newborn infant fails to emit a sound immediately after birth, it is termed "Meng Sheng" (Dream Birth, referring to temporary silence due to asphyxia). People are often unaware of how to rescue them, which is deeply pitiable. Do not sever the umbilical cord hastily. Quickly warm the placenta (Bao Yi) with an open flame so that warmth enters the infant's abdomen, and wash the umbilical cord with hot water. Then, take one cat, wrap its head and limbs in a cloth bag, have a dexterous woman hold the cat's head, and position it near the infant's ear. Allow the cat to bite its own ear; the cat will inevitably let out a loud cry, causing the infant to wake up and vocalize. Only then should the umbilical cord be cut.
In cases of difficult labor, exposure to wind-cold, or delayed delivery, where the infant's vital energy is nearly exhausted and unable to cry, apply the aforementioned warming method to allow warmth to enter the abdomen. Once the Qi returns, the infant will revive. Additionally, have the parents exhale gently into the infant's mouth to connect their true Qi.
Regarding the severing of the umbilical cord, common practice uses knives or scissors, which is highly inappropriate. Instead, use a large paper wick dipped in sesame oil, ignite it on the umbilical cord, and burn through it. This method supplements and reconnects Yang Qi. It is not only an excellent method for resuscitation but also prevents future ailments such as Cold Damage (Shang Han) and diarrhea.
"Shen Suo" (Kidney Retraction, involving retraction of the scrotum and penis) in newborns is caused by cold pathogen invasion. Use 3 qian each of Liu Huang (Sulfur) and Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus), grind them into an extremely fine powder, mix with Cong Zhi (Scallion Juice), and apply to the navel and abdomen. Separately, burn She Chuang Zi (Cnidii Fructus) to produce smoke and fumigate the area until relief occurs.
Infants born with "Men Qi" (Stifled Navel, referring to imperforate anus) have a membrane blocking the anal opening, preventing vocalization. Patting the back may rupture the membrane, allowing crying. Alternatively, a dexterous woman may gently pierce the membrane with a silver hairpin for convenience. If piercing is not possible, tightly wrap the infant in warm clothing to prevent heat loss. Soak the placenta in hot water, or warm it with fire in cold weather. Over time, heat enters the abdomen, creating internal pressure that ruptures the membrane naturally, allowing sound to emerge.
Infants born without an anus suffer from Lung Heat obstructing the anal region. Immediately pierce the obstruction using a gold, silver, or jade hairpin, or a heated needle, ensuring the depth is shallow. Cover the site with an oiled paper wick to prevent re-closure.
Newborns whose bodies appear translucent like fish bladders or crystal, leaking fluid upon rupture, should be treated with Mi Tuo Seng (Lithargyri Pulvis, Lead Monoxide) ground into a fine powder applied topically.
For newborns with no skin, presenting only red flesh, immediately dust the body with dry rice flour from early harvest. Stop application once the skin has fully regenerated.
In cases of urinary and fecal retention with critical abdominal distension, have a woman hold hot water in her mouth and suck on seven points: the anterior chest, posterior back, below the navel, and the palms and soles of the hands and feet. Suck each point seven times until the skin turns red. Relief usually follows shortly. Another prescription involves mixing equal parts of Cong Zhi (Scallion Juice) and Ren Ru (Human Milk), applying it to the infant's mouth to induce passage.
For newborns unable to urinate, chop one stalk of Cong Bai (Scallion Stem), decoct it with half a cup of Ren Ru (Human Milk), remove the scallion, and administer the milk in four divided doses. Urination will resume. Infants refusing to breastfeed will also begin nursing after taking this remedy.
