After the birth of a child can be healthy growth, attention to care is one of its decisive factors. Sun Simiao said: “The way of people’s livelihood is to nurture the small as the big, if not in the small, not big. (Thousand Gold Essential Formula). This means that the health condition of the child lays the foundation for a lifetime. Therefore, attention to child care is the key to prevent disease. 1, pay attention to the care of the newborn child The newborn child, just out of the mother’s body, the most appropriate cautious care. This is because after the birth of the baby, from the intra-fetal environment to the extra-fetal environment, in the physiology of a great change. For newborns, breathing, diet and adaptation to the cold and temperature of the climate are all new problems. Therefore, it is necessary to give good care so that it can gradually adapt to the new living environment. 2, correct breastfeeding and diet After the birth of a child, all rely on the breast milk of nourishment. The ancient saying “Breastfeeding is what children rely on to support their lives” shows that proper breastfeeding and a nutritious and comprehensive diet are essential to the healthy growth of a child. Most of the nutrients needed during infancy come from breast milk or other milk products. When breastfeeding an infant, the first and foremost problem is to feed the baby regularly and rationally. If you are too hungry, you will not get enough nutrients, which will affect your child’s growth and development over time. Too full will hurt the stomach and intestines to vomit and diarrhea, and long will form stagnation. The daily amount of milk for children varies from person to person. The “Thousand Gold Essentials” says: “depending on the child’s hunger and fullness, know that the child’s milk in a day and enough for the regular”. The “normal” mentioned here refers to the amount of milk required by the child every day. According to this normal degree to adjust to the needs of the baby. The health of the mother has a great impact on the baby. The “Huai Jiao” says: “All nursing mothers, blood is milk.” Therefore, “if a mother has heat to breastfeed her child, she will turn yellow and cannot eat. If a mother is drunk and breastfeeds her child, her body will become hot and her abdomen full” and “if she breastfeeds a pregnant child, she will become yellow and thin, with a large abdomen and soft feet”. This means that the mother and the child are closely related, and that adjusting the mother’s diet and living has a certain role in preventing the occurrence of childhood diseases. In the method of breastfeeding, it is proposed that “when a child cries, the breath is not regulated, the mother should not drink the child’s milk, for fear that the milk will not be allowed to go down, stagnating the chest and internal organs, then vomiting” (Huaijian of evidence). Breastfeeding during sleep should be “the mother should pillow the arm, so that the milk and the child’s head level, is the milk, so that the child does not choke.” (Qian Jin Yao Fang). These general knowledge of breastfeeding still has its significance today. As the child grows, the diet gradually transitions from breast milk to food-based to meet the needs of its growth and development. Adding complementary foods too early or too late can affect the health of the child, so the “Thousand Gold Essentials” pointed out: “If the child feeds early, the child will not be able to overcome the grain gas, so that the sickness, head and body like sores, healing and recurrence, so that the child degree staggering! Generally after four to six months of age, children should gradually add complementary foods, such as thin porridge, rice flour, vegetable puree, etc.. After the age of one year, you should gradually wean yourself from breast milk. Yan’s children’s formula says: “after half a year, it is appropriate to fry thin porridge of rice, take porridge and time to time with it, after October, gradually in thick porridge and rotten rice to help the middle gas, natural easy to feed less disease.” This is because breastfeeding is too long, the nutrients in the milk is not enough to supply the needs of the child, prone to nutritional deficiencies. The timely increase of supplementary food can strengthen its vitality, so that children get a comprehensive and rich nutrition. After the child is weaned from the breast, the diet becomes the main source of nutrition. This is a new change for children’s gastrointestinal. And children’s diet is uncontrolled, do not know hunger and full, every easy to damage the spleen and stomach vomiting and diarrhea, stagnation. Therefore, the diet must be moderated. The nursery baby family secret” said: “to be able to eat, especially when the section of the, can not indulge its good, to fast its heart, thus causing more disease.” Only moderate diet can ensure the healthy function of the spleen and stomach and the healthy function of the spleen and stomach is the basis for biochemical blood, promoting the growth and development of children, and preventing the invasion of disease. As the proverb says, “If you want your child to be safe, always suffer from hunger and cold”, that is, children should not eat too much, not too full, and not too thick and warm clothes. At the same time, we should educate children not to develop the habit of partial food. The diet should be comprehensive and reasonable, in order to ensure that there is sufficient nutrient essence. A comprehensive and reasonable diet means a generalized, regular and systematic diet, including a certain amount of animal and plant proteins, vitamins and minerals. We know that all kinds of lean meat and eggs are rich in protein and other nutrients, and all kinds of vegetables contain more vitamins, fiber, and more folic acid, which is especially important for infants and young children, which are necessary for the growth and development of children. Because of the addition of vegetables, can promote the absorption of nutrients in the intestinal tract, to keep the bowel movement. Therefore, children should be educated to develop the habit of eating green vegetables. As Zhu Danxi said: “only with cooked vegetables and white porridge, not only no disease, and not indulge in mouth can nourish virtue”. This means that the ancients have recognized the importance of vegetables to the growth and development of children. Food should be chosen light and tasty and easy to digest products, do not eat too much acid, salty, sweet and meat, spicy or uncooked food. Especially for some physical abnormalities of children, more attention must be paid to diet, in order to prevent the inappropriate diet and induced disease. 3, adapt to the four seasons, adjust the temperature and cold Children’s skin is tender, blood and Qi is not yet strong, the Wei Qi is not solid, the ability to adapt to the climate is poor. Easily affected by wind, cold, heat, heat and the invasion of disease. Therefore, we should adapt to the changes of the four seasons and increase and decrease clothes according to the cold and temperature of the weather. The “Source of Diseases” says: “Children are born, the skin has not yet become, not warm clothes, warm clothes will make the tendons and bones are very weak, …… can not be spring and summer to reduce their clothes, so that the wind cold.” That is to say, children are too thickly clothed so that the coup open and more sweat, so that the table deficiency is easy for the wind evil injury. Wearing too little clothing is not enough to protect against wind and cold can also feel the evil for disease. It should be “cold not to offend the cold, hot not to offend the heat, often as the spring temperature and time, in order to raise the child’s body.” In adapting to the four climatic changes, the specific method of regulating cold and temperature is proposed: the back should be warm, if the back is affected by wind and cold, injury to the child’s lung is likely to occur fever, chills and cough. The abdomen should be warm, if the abdomen is cold, it can affect the child’s ability to receive movement, resulting in abdominal pain, intestinal tinnitus, vomiting and diarrhea. The feet and knees should be warm, if the feet and knees are cold, it affects the spleen and stomach, and can easily occur wind and cold discharge. The head should be cool, it is the head for all the yang will, the brain is the sea of marrow, heat is the head sweat, easy to become head sores and eye disease. These are the summary of practical experience in regulating cold and temperature according to the yin and yang properties of the internal organs, abdomen and back, head and feet. Has some practical significance. 4, the extreme refinement, strengthen the body Childhood appropriate games, sports to strengthen exercise is to promote the normal growth and development of children, a good way to enhance physical fitness. Ancient physicians have long been aware of the positive effects of daylight and fresh air in nature on children’s health. Advocate the exercise from childhood, to enhance the ability to withstand wind and cold. For example, the “source of diseases” said: “It is desirable to see the wind and sun, if you do not see the wind and sun, the skin is brittle and soft, it is easy to hurt. Where the day is warm and windless, so that the mother will hold the child to play in the sun, a number of wind and sun, then the blood coagulation gas, muscle hard and dense, can withstand wind and cold, not cause disease.” But the exercise of this ability to withstand wind and cold, only step by step, not too hasty. Such as Lu Boji: “thin clothing law, when the practice of autumn, not spring and summer to reduce its clothing, otherwise the wind and cold. So from the autumn practice of the person, to gradually slightly cold, for this will be resistant to cold”. When the child grows up, he should do some physical exercise to make his muscles and bones strong, breathe well, and eat more. But because children lack of life experience, the ability to recognize some dangerous things in daily life, so pay attention to safety, to prevent accidental injury. The content of the game activities should be lively and suitable for children’s psychology as a principle, so that children grow up physically and mentally healthy. 5, pay attention to hygiene, keep clean Many diseases in childhood, such as gastrointestinal disorders, worms, skin sores, etc. are related to poor hygiene habits. The “miracle formula” pointed out that “the internal organs are not real, the spleen and stomach are deficient, mixed eating cold, sweet, fatty and greasy things, or eating melons and fruits, horses, animals and animal offal, leaving behind all kinds of worms.” It can be seen that the ancients have recognized that the occurrence of worm evidence is the result of swallowing “all kinds of worms”. It is also noted that the strength of the internal organs affects the reproduction and growth of worms. “If the internal organs are strong, they cannot cause harm; if the internal organs are weak, the worms will move and grow”. People are warned that in the prevention of worm infections, not only should they not eat cold and raw fruits and uncooked meat, but also to maintain a strong function of the internal organs. Frequent bathing is a good way to keep the skin clean and free from disease. The “General Microbiology of Pediatric Health” points out that “children since birth, bathing according to the time to remove dirt and dirt …… If you do not bathe, the skin is wrinkled hair down, more scabies.” And root, children’s skin is delicate, the couples are not dense characteristics of the proposed bath water temperature should be “not cold, not hot”, “appropriate cold temperature with the”. Should be in the “windless room” to avoid cold and wind chill, and time should not be too long. 6, medicine and treatment carefully, do not cut angry children’s delicate form, qi and blood is not full. Its “five wins and six internal organs into a full, full and not yet strong”, with “the internal organs are soft and weak, easy to deficiency, easy to cold, easy to heat” characteristics. Therefore, the clinical treatment should be especially prudent. Children’s stomach and intestines are easily injured by drugs, so Chen Feixia said: “Covering the heartless grass, the smell is not pure, the original is not suitable for the delicate.” The straightforward secret of pediatric medicine says: “Take cold to produce cold, take warm to produce heat.” Hao Jutong said, “Its use of medicine, a little dull will be stagnant, a little heavy will be injured.” If the treatment is not properly regulated, the spleen and stomach will be injured, and the health of the child will be affected by the loss of health and transportation, as well as the lack of food and milk, and the lack of source of energy, blood and fluid. When a child’s illness requires medicine, it should be based on the principle of “stop the disease immediately, do not overdose” and the principle of “light can go to the real” in the dispensing of medicine. Prevent the abuse of bitter, cold, hot and poisonous drugs to cut the child’s vitality. Beware of the mistake of injuring the disease and then injuring the medicine. In conclusion, TCM pediatric disease prevention and health care is an ancient and relevant science with Chinese national characteristics. It attaches importance to the role of internal and external factors in the pathogenesis, using the method of adjusting the internal environment of the child’s body to strengthen the body’s anti-disease function, adapt to the four seasons, regulate cold and temperature to achieve the purpose of disease prevention.
