初生婴儿开口之后，观察其舌下部位。若发现重舌（舌下肿胀如小舌状）伴有薄膜，形状像石榴籽一样。如果孩子啼哭不出，迅速用手指甲或针轻微刺破舌系带，有血液流出即可缓解。取桑树的汁液，调和蒲黄涂抹患处。如果出血较多，将头发烧成灰，用猪油调和后涂抹。
小儿肚脐突出，使用原本剪断的脐带，与艾叶一同烧成灰烬，用油脂和胭脂调和后搽涂，即可痊愈。
用银簪脚弯曲，从婴儿心口下方至肚脐处，轻轻刮拭数次。观察胸部是否有青色筋脉，像一条直线向下并分叉。在直线下方分叉处，用绿豆大小的艾绒，施灸一遍，立即痊愈。
初生婴儿皮肤娇嫩，全是红肉没有表皮，迅速用米粉干扑洒。等到生出表皮后才停止。凡是腋下、腿缝、手臂弯折处等各处，若有红肿溃烂无皮的情况，婴儿必定频繁哭闹。只用牛屎烧灰保留药性，研成极细粉末，擦涂患处即可痊愈。
用朱砂研成粉末，用水调匀后涂抹在心口、两手心、两足心这五个部位，即可痊愈。凡是在腹中啼哭的胎儿，取多年空房下老鼠洞中的土一块，让孕妇含在口中即止。若能逐月养胎，可避免前述病患。
孕妇不说话，不需要服药。临产时只需服用保生丸、四物汤，就能说话。《内经》说：人有怀孕九月而失音的，是因为胞络系于肾。
小儿痘症的各种看治方法，医书中记载得很详细，这里不再赘述。只有痘家最讲究洁净，如果触犯禁忌，轻痘会变重，重痘会变危，深为令人担忧。因此列于此，保育幼童者，不可不放在心上。

After the newborn infant opens its mouth, observe the area under the tongue. If *Chong She* (Reptile Tongue/Sublingual swelling) is found with a membrane, resembling a pomegranate seed. If the child cannot cry, quickly use fingernails or a needle to slightly pierce the lingual frenulum; life/function returns once blood flows. Take mulberry juice, mix with *Puhuang* (Cattail Pollen), and apply to the affected area. If bleeding is excessive, burn hair to ash, mix with pig fat, and apply.
For an infant with protruding umbilicus, use the originally severed umbilical cord and mugwort leaves (*Ai Ye*), burn them to ash, mix with oil and rouge, and apply for cure.
Use the bent end of a silver hairpin. From below the infant's heart to the navel, scrape gently several times. Observe if there are cyanotic veins in the chest, appearing as a single line descending and bifurcating. At the bifurcation point below the line, moxibustion with one piece of moxa the size of a mung bean should be performed for immediate cure.
Newborns have tender skin, essentially red flesh without epidermis. Quickly dust with dry rice flour. Stop once the epidermis forms. For any areas such as the axillae, leg creases, or antecubital fossae where redness and erosion without skin occur, the infant will likely cry frequently. Use only ash from burned cow dung (preserving its nature), ground into an extremely fine powder, and rub on the affected area for cure.
Grind *Zhusha* (Cinnabar) into powder, mix with water, and apply to five points: the center of the chest, both palms, and both soles. This leads to cure. For a fetus crying in the womb, take a piece of earth from a rat hole in an empty house for many years, and have the pregnant woman hold it in her mouth to stop the crying. If fetal nourishment is maintained month by month, these ailments can be avoided.
If a pregnant woman loses her voice, medication is not required. Upon delivery, simply taking *Baosheng Wan* (Life-Preserving Pill) and *Siwu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction) will restore speech. The *Neijing* states: "When a person is heavily pregnant for nine months and becomes aphonic, it is because the uterus collateral connects to the Kidney."
Various methods for observing and treating infant smallpox are detailed in medical texts and need not be repeated here. The most crucial aspect for smallpox care is cleanliness. If taboos are violated, mild cases become severe, and severe cases become critical, which is deeply worrying. Therefore, they are listed here. Those who protect and nurture infants must keep this in mind.
