议论道：草木幼苗如果失去灌溉，生长起来必定枯萎焦黄；婴儿出生如果违背了乳哺的规律，长大后必定体弱怯懦。大凡万物生成的道理，合乎中庸之道的，才能顺应自然变化的适宜性。
人如果违背了正常的礼仪规范，就是违反了玄元（天道）的定数。凡是胎儿在母胎中，要靠和气来滋养；出生后饮食要有节制，不到吃奶的时候就不进食，不要导致过度喂养。虽然吃了但没有乳汁（或乳汁不足/不当），祸害就会产生。因此，喂奶不能错过时机，进食必须有节制。喂奶失时，孩子即使不生病也会自然衰弱；进食失节，孩子即使没有疾病也会自然变得怯弱。喂奶是为了强壮他的肌肤，进食是为了厚养他的肠胃。所谓乳哺，到了两周三岁，就要增加营养以益其身体。现在的人，在孩子还没断奶时就强行夺去乳汁，或者满月后放纵孩子食用肥甘厚味，这难道不会导致疾病伤害吗？真是令人叹息啊！
初生的婴儿，只是一团血气，还没有具体的形症表现，也没有明显的脉象。如果有惊厥的表现，应当知道是胎惊；如果有发热的表现，应当知道是胎热。出生三天换衣服，还不知道是否平安；到了七天进行“一腊”（古代习俗，指新生儿满七日的祭祀或护理仪式），这时脐风、撮口等病证就会显现出来。接生婆如果不注意，会导致锁肚（便秘）、清筋（抽搐）、唇口撮（口唇紧缩）等症状。又有因为邪气客忤（外邪侵犯），导致婴儿不吃奶，过了一夜精神就会脱失。此时只需使用妙药，就能保全安康，很久之后婴儿的生命得以保住。如果知道病情难治而放弃救治，片刻之间就会嫌弃婴儿指甲和嘴唇发黑（死亡征兆）。女子刚出生时小便带血，正是胎中受热所致；男子两眼闭不开，或者患丹疮（一种急性皮肤感染），都是热极所致。目闭和丹疮，用消毒良方即可；出血则必须用生地黄。又有初生就出现痉挛（延将），可能是向火取暖过度，或者加盖棉絮过多，导致神情不安稳，眼睛斜视，身体强直反张，这种情况非常可怜。医生如果误当作惊风治疗，错误地只使用凉心药物，反而会使病情恶化；应当适宜多用生地黄，再加一些蜂蜜，这才是神仙般的良药。
婴儿未满周岁，不懂得惊忌的道理，听到声响就会不安宁。眼睛内部半周（指眼周或特定经络区域）称为襁褓惊热，应当顺应变蒸（小儿生长发育过程中的生理现象）的变化。三十二天为一次“变”，六十四天为一次“蒸”。经过十八次变蒸之后，脉搏才会在寸口处显现。变蒸不足，反映在面部：左眼属木，大阳阴右处眉棱上下俱是木；准头（鼻准）是中宫镇星土；耳间属肾常土虚；唇口两笑（指口角）是脾所居；面中颧骨属心火；惟有人中穴是肺。五行相生重而轻，若还相克着，工夫顺候易理逆难疗。智不通兮性莫粗心。肝主惊，肺主气，肺主风，脾主味。胃家不得冷，无虚吐泻下止惊风至。自古皆言心主惊，五脏六腑有惊名。心惊则血散，气不复流入虚堂百病生。肺惊吃水，肺喘细干呕无时。脾胃因肾候切牙搐眼夜啼。肠恐脸红，心五心热是脾招悸。面青下白胆生惊。若在三焦终作渴，或入膀胱卵痛声。
Translation:
It is discussed that if plant seedlings lose irrigation, their growth will inevitably wither and scorch; if infants violate the rules of breastfeeding and feeding after birth, they will inevitably become weak and timid when grown up. Generally speaking, the principle of life generation must conform to the "Golden Mean" (moderation) to adapt to the suitability of metabolic transformation and growth.
If humans deviate from proper etiquette, they violate the numbers of Xuan Yuan (the Heavenly Dao). While a fetus is in the womb, it is nourished by harmonious qi; after birth, food intake must be regulated. One should not feed milk when it is not time for breastfeeding, avoiding overfeeding. Even if fed without milk or excessively, disaster will arise. Therefore, breastfeeding must not miss its timing, and eating must be moderated. If breastfeeding misses its timing, the child will naturally weaken even without illness; if eating lacks moderation, the child will naturally become timid even without disease. Breastfeeding strengthens the skin and muscles, while solid food thickens and nourishes the stomach and intestines. It is said that the practice of breastfeeding and feeding continues until two or three years of age to enhance the body's constitution. Nowadays, people forcibly stop breastfeeding before weaning, or indulge children in rich and sweet foods after one month. Would this not cause illness and harm the body? This is truly lamentable!
A newborn infant is merely a lump of blood, lacking specific form, symptoms, or pulse. If there are signs of fright, it should be known as fetal fright (Tai Jing); if there is heat, it should be known as fetal heat (Tai Re). On the third day, when changing clothes, safety is still uncertain; on the seventh day, an ancient ritual called "Yi La" (a sacrifice for the seven-day milestone) is performed. At this stage, conditions such as neonatal tetanus (Qi Feng), mouth contraction (Cuo Kou), issues related to the midwife ("Lao Niang", likely referring to care-related factors), locked belly (constipation), clear tendons (tendon spasms), and mouth puckering may appear. Additionally, due to evil qi invasion (Ke Wu), the infant may refuse to breastfeed, leading to spiritual depletion within a night. Only by using miraculous medicines can health be preserved, allowing the infant's life to survive after a long period. If the condition is deemed difficult to save, rescue efforts must be immediate, noting black fingernails and lips. For female infants, bloody urine at birth indicates heat accumulated in the womb; for male infants, closed eyes or erysipelas (Dan Chuang, a red, swollen, hot skin lesion) indicate extreme heat. Closed eyes and erysipelas are treated with detoxification; bleeding requires Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix). For infants who fall ill immediately after birth, whether seeking fire for warmth or adding cotton, causing unstable spirit, strabismus, and opisthotonos, the situation is pitiable. If doctors mistakenly treat this as fright wind (Jing Feng), cooling the heart (clearing heat and calming the mind) brings peace. It is advisable to use large amounts of Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix) mixed with honey, which acts like a divine medicine. Infants under one year old do not understand fright taboos; noise causes restlessness. The area half-circle inside the eye is named "Qiang Bao"; fright-heat should follow the pattern of Bian Zheng (Transformation and Vaporization). Thirty-two days constitute one "Bian" (transformation), and sixty-four days constitute one "Zheng" (vaporization). After eighteen cycles of Bian Zheng are complete, pulses emerge, originating from the Cun Kou (radial artery at the wrist). If Bian Zheng is insufficient, manifestations appear on the face: the left eye belongs to Tai Yang Yin; the upper and lower parts of the right eyebrow belong to Wood; the nose tip (Zhun Tou) is the Central Palace Zhen Xing Earth; the ears belong to Kidney and often show Spleen Earth deficiency; smiling at the corners of the mouth indicates the Spleen; the cheekbones belong to Heart Fire; only the philtrum (Ren Zhong) belongs to the Lung. In the generation of the Five Elements, mutual production is heavy yet light; if mutual overcoming occurs, following the順 (smooth) sequence makes theory easy, but reversing it is hard to treat. Wisdom is unclear, nature is careless. The Heart governs fright; the Lung governs Qi; the Spleen governs Wind; the Stomach governs taste. The Stomach must not be cold; deficiency leads to vomiting and diarrhea, stopping fright wind from arriving. Since ancient times, it has been said that the Heart governs fright; all five zang and six fu organs have names for fright. Heart fright scatters blood and qi, failing to flow back, causing hundred diseases in the empty hall. Lung fright involves drinking water; lung wheezing involves dry retching without time. Spleen and Stomach issues relate to Kidney signals: grinding teeth, eye twitching, and night crying. Intestine fear causes facial redness; Heart's five-center heat is summoned by the Spleen. Palpitations with a green face and white lower body indicate Gallbladder fright. If in the San Jiao (Triple Burner), it ultimately becomes thirst; if entering the Bladder, it causes testicular pain and voice changes.
