钱乙说：胎气充实的婴儿，面色红润，眼珠黑亮且黑睛多，喜欢笑。胎气虚怯的婴儿，面色发黄，眼珠黑亮但黑睛少、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，全身皮肤血色红润，满月之后，逐渐变得消瘦，眼白呈现粉红色，五心烦热，大便困难，经常流口水，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，研为粉末），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，趁温热给婴儿洗澡。
注意不要洗背部。
药物组成：连翘，瞿麦，荆芥，木通，赤芍药，当归，防风，柴胡，滑石，蝉壳，甘草（炒，各一钱），山栀子，黄芩（各半钱）。
以上药物研为粉末。每次服用二钱，加入紫草，用水煎服。热势严重加大黄，并根据证候详细加减。
薛己说：胎肥是由于母亲胃中受热所致。婴儿使用浴体法来疏通其腠理。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，肌肉单薄，大便呈白色水样，身体没有血色，经常打嗝并伴有呃逆，眼神无光彩，也适宜用浴体法为主进行治疗。初虞世说：母亲元气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皆黄，状如金色，身上壮热，大便不通，小便像栀子汁一样，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而传染给胎儿的缘故。凡是出现这种证候，母子都适宜服用地黄汤及地黄饮子。有出生后一百天及半周岁，不因生病后身体微黄的，属于胃热。如果是先天出生即身黄的，称为胎疸。经书说：各种黄疸都属于热证，颜色深黄的就是这类。犀角散主治。如果颜色淡黄兼白的，属于胃气虚怯，白术散主治。
以上药物切碎。每次服用半两，用水煎服。由乳母服用，不时少量涂抹在婴儿口中。

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, dark eyes but sparse iris coverage with prominent sclera, and tend to cry frequently. One must also distinguish the parents' body types; a fat father cannot produce a thin child, nor can a thin father produce a fat child.
"Tai Fei" (Prenatal Excess/Fatness) refers to infants born with thick muscles and ruddy skin coloration. After one month of age, they gradually become emaciated, their sclera turns pinkish-red, they experience five-palm heat (Wu Xin Fan Re), difficulty in defecation, and frequent salivation. The primary treatment is the Bathing Method (Yu Ti Fa).
Ingredients: Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Xiewei (Scorpio tail, venom removed), Zhusha (Cinnabar, each 5 fen), Wushe Rou (Daboia sinensis meat, soaked in wine, dried, powdered), Baifan (Alumen, each 3 qian), Shexiang (Moschus, 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, one 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 (Large Uncaria Decoction): Treats prenatal heat causing umbilical tetanus (Qi Feng), urinary retention, and various sores/toxins.
Ingredients: Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructum), Qumai (Dianthi Herba), Jingjie (Schizonepetae Spica), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Chishaoyao (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 Fructum), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each half qian).

Xue Ji stated: Tai Fei is caused by maternal stomach heat. The infant should undergo the Bathing Method to unblock the interstices (Cou Li). The nursing mother should take Dalianqiao Yin.
"Tai Qie" (Prenatal Deficiency/Weakness) refers to infants born with lusterless faces, thin muscles, white watery stools, lack of ruddiness in the body, frequent hiccupping and eructation, dull eyes, and lack of spirit. The Bathing Method is also suitable as the primary treatment. Chu Yushi said: Insufficient maternal qi leads to emaciation and thin flesh; insufficient paternal essence leads to delayed closure of the fontanelle (Jie Lu) and excessive scleral exposure.
When a newborn has yellowing of the entire body and face, resembling gold, accompanied by high fever, constipation, urine resembling gardenia juice, anorexia, and incessant crying, this is the presentation of "Tai Huang" (Prenatal 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 (Rehmannia Decoction) and Dihuang Yinzi (Rehmannia Drink). If an infant remains slightly yellow at 100 days or six months without illness, it is due to stomach heat. If jaundice is present from birth, it is called "Tai Dan" (Prenatal Icterus). The Classics state: All icterus is heat-related; deep yellow color indicates this type. Xijiao San (Rhinoceros Horn Powder) is the main prescription. If the color is pale yellow mixed with white, it indicates stomach deficiency; Baizhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is the main prescription.
