钱乙说：胎气充实的婴儿，面色红润，眼珠黑亮且黑睛较多，喜欢笑。胎气虚怯的婴儿，面色萎黄，黑睛少而白睛多，容易哭闹。还要辨别父母体型的肥瘦，父亲肥胖不可能生出瘦弱的孩子，父亲瘦弱也不可能生出肥胖的孩子。
所谓胎肥，是指婴儿出生后肌肉丰厚，全身皮肤血色红赤，满月之后，逐渐变得消瘦，眼白呈粉红色，五心（两手心、两足心及心胸）烦热，大便困难，时常流口水，治疗以浴体法为主。
药物组成：天麻（二钱）、蝎尾（去毒）、朱砂（各五分）、乌蛇肉（酒浸，焙干，研末）、白矾（各三钱）、麝香（一字）、青黛（三钱）。
以上药物研匀。每次取三钱药粉，加水三碗，桃枝一握连同叶子五七枝，一起煎煮至沸腾十次，待温度适宜时给婴儿洗浴。注意不要洗背部。

以上药物研为细末。每次服用二钱，加入紫草，用水煎服。热势严重加大黄，并根据具体证候加减用药。
薛己说：胎肥是由于母亲胃中积热所致。婴儿使用浴体法来疏通腠理（皮肤毛孔及纹理）。乳母服用大连翘饮。
所谓胎怯，是指婴儿出生后面部缺乏光泽，肌肉薄弱，大便稀薄如水，身体没有血色，时常噎气并伴有呃逆，眼神无光彩，也适宜用浴体法治疗。初虞世说：母亲气血不足则导致婴儿羸瘦且肌肉薄，父亲精气不足则导致婴儿囟门迟闭（解颅）且眼白多。
小儿出生后遍体面目发黄，颜色像金色一样，身上高热，大便不通，小便颜色像栀子汁，不吃奶食，啼哭不止，这是胎黄的征候，都是因为乳母感受湿热之邪，传于胎儿所致。凡是出现这种证候，母子都适宜服用地黄汤及地黄饮子。有出生后一百天甚至半年，不是因为病后而身体微黄的，属于胃热。如果是出生即身黄的，属于胎疸。医经说：各种黄疸都属于热证，颜色深黄的即是如此。治疗以犀角散为主。如果黄色淡而兼白的，属于胃气虚弱，治疗以白术散为主。
药物组成：生地黄、赤芍药、川芎、当归、栝蒌根（天花粉）（各等分）。

Qian Yi stated: Infants with robust prenatal constitution (Tai Shi) have ruddy complexions, dark and bright eyes with prominent iris coverage, and tend to smile. Infants with deficient prenatal constitution (Tai Qie) have sallow complexions, less visible irises with more sclera exposed, and tend to cry frequently. One must also distinguish the parents' body types; a father who is obese cannot sire a thin child, nor can a thin father sire an obese child.
"Tai Fei" (Fetal Excess/Fatness) refers to infants born with thick muscles and reddish skin tone. After one month of age, they gradually become emaciated, exhibit pinkish-white sclera, sensation of heat in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest), difficulty in defecation, and frequent drooling. The primary treatment is the Body Bathing Method.
Ingredients: Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Xiewei (Scorpio tail, detoxified), Zhusha (Cinnabar, each 5 fen), Wushe Rou (Duberrius's Snake meat, soaked in wine, dried and powdered), Baifan (Alumen, each 3 qian), Shexiang (Musk, 1 zi), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis, 3 qian).
Grind all ingredients uniformly. For each use, take 3 qian of the powder, add three bowls of water, a handful of peach branches with five or seven leaves, and decoct until boiling ten times. Use the warm liquid for bathing. Do not bathe the back.
Dalianqiao Yin (Great Forsythia Decoction): Treats fetal heat causing umbilical wind (neonatal tetanus), urinary retention, and various sores and toxins.
Ingredients: Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructum), Qumai (Dianthi Herba), Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Chi Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Huashi (Talcum), Chanqiao (Cicadae Periostracum), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, stir-fried, each 1 qian), Shanzhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each half qian).
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, add Zicao (Arnebiae Radix seu Lithospermi Radix), and decoct with water. If heat is severe, add Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma); adjust further based on specific symptoms.
Xue Ji stated: Tai Fei is caused by maternal stomach heat. The infant should undergo the Body Bathing Method to unblock the couli (skin pores and interstices). The nursing mother should take Dalianqiao Yin.
"Tai Qie" (Fetal Deficiency/Weakness) refers to infants born with lusterless faces, thin muscles, watery loose stools, lack of blood color in the body, frequent hiccupping and belching, dull eyes, and lack of spirit. This condition is also primarily treated with the Body Bathing Method. Chu Yushi stated: Insufficient qi and blood in the mother leads to emaciation and thin flesh in the infant; insufficient essence from the father leads to delayed closure of the fontanelle (Jie Lu) and excessive sclera exposure.
When a newborn has yellowing of the entire body and face, resembling gold, accompanied by high fever, constipation, urine resembling gardenia juice, refusal to nurse, and incessant crying, this is the presentation of Tai Huang (Fetal Jaundice). This is caused by damp-heat contracted by the nursing mother being transmitted to the fetus. In such cases, both mother and infant should take Dihuang Tang and Dihuang Yinzi. If an infant remains slightly yellow after one hundred days or six months without prior illness, it is due to stomach heat. If jaundice is present from birth, it is termed Tan Dan (Fetal Jaundice). The classics state: All forms of jaundice are heat-related; deep yellow color confirms this. The primary treatment is Xijiao San. If the yellow is pale and mixed with white, it indicates weak stomach qi, treated with Baizhu San.
