Brief description
The 3B Nurse Training Baby was developed in close cooperation with pediatric nursing professionals.
This true-to-life model is suited for use in the instruction and practice of all important aspects of ill and
healthy infant care. Size and weight is comparable to that of a newborn infant. Interchangeable abdomi-
nal wall inserts with genital segments permit easy practice of care procedures for male and female
infants. Shoulder, hip, and knee joints allow almost every movement natural to a newborn infant. There is
also a joint between the head and neck and one in the thoracic region. The soft skin of he head allows
palpation of the anterior and posterior fontanelles. The high quality material guarantees easy care and
long durability.
Assembly
The 3B Nurse Training Baby comes pre-assembled in an
accompanying carrying case. Should it be necessary to dis-
mantle the model, arms and legs are removable at the shoulder
and hip joints, respectively. The upper and lower portions of
the body can be separated by loosening the side screws. The
head can be removed by carefully pulling the base from its ball
joint. The three connecting tubes found in the neck of the model
can be loosened by pulling the head free of its connections to
stomach and lungs. They must be reinserted into the proper openings when reassembling. To exchange
genital segments, loosen the Velcro fastening of the abdominal wall insert. Carefully pull the intestinal
insert forward out of the abdominal cavity and detach the underlying bladder. To replace the abdominal
wall insert, simply reverse the preceding steps.
Care and cleaning
The 3B Nurse Training Baby is manufactured from easy care, high quality, synthetic material. The mode
can be cleansed with a mild soap solution. Cleansed parts should be air-dried afterwards. Substances
containing oil or solvents should not be used. Markings should be mode with pencil only. The occasional
application of Vaseline to ball joints is recommended in order to maintain mobility of shoulders, head,
and hips. In order to allow head mobility, connecting tubes to the lungs and stomach are not watertight;
therefore, fluids should not be introduced into oral and nasal openings.

Practice options with the 3B Nurse Training Baby
A. Basic care
1. Picking Up, Carrying, and Positioning of Infant
The natural weight and joint mobility of the 3B Nurse Training Baby facilitates all
movements necessary for picking up, carrying, and positioning a baby on its sto-
mach, back or side. The neck joint allows turning and bending of head. When hol-
ding the baby, the head tilts backwards in response to gravity, so that the holder
can practice providing proper head support.
2. Dressing and Undressing the Baby
The 3B Nurse Training Baby wears standard newborn clothing, so that motions
and procedures required for dressing and undressing a baby can easily be taught
and practiced.
3. Changing the Baby's Diaper
All common changing techniques using newborn-sized disposable or cloth diapers may be practiced with
the 3B Nurse Training Baby. Baby oil, cream, or powder should not be applied.
4. Feeding the Baby
Positioning of an infant for breast and bottle feeding can be practiced with the 3B Nurse Training Baby.
Feeding should be simulated without fluid or cereal. The mouth opening is suitable for use of standard
newborn-size teats.
5. Washing the Baby, cleaning Eyes, Ears and Nose
For practice purposes, the 3B Nurse Training Baby may be washed with a damp cloth. Mouth, eyes and
ears may be cleansed with a gauze pad or cotton swab. The nose may also be cleansed with a cotton
swab, or a special bulb syringe for infants may be used. All parts of the model must be thoroughly dried
after washing. Because large amounts of fluid may not be introduced into the 3B Nurse Training Baby,
we recommend the 3B Baby Care Model P31 or P41 for learning to bath infants.
6. Umbilical care
The 3B Nurse Training Baby comes with a removable navel for use in teaching umbilical care of the new-
born.
B. Pediatric Care
1. Suctioning of Nasopharynx
When suctioning the nasal opening of the 3B Nurse Training Baby, a size 8 French suction catheter
should be used. Larger catheters may be used for oral suctioning.
2. Tube Insertion
A size 8 French tube may be inserted into the 3B Nurse Training
Baby's nasal opening. Silicone spray is recommended for lubricati-
on of tube.
3. Administration of Medication
The administration of medication with a spoon, medicine dropper,
or a special medication nipple may be practiced with the 3B Nurse
Training Baby.
