Quick Answer: The advanced nursing baby is an infant-sized training manikin used to practise the nursing care of newborns and babies. Nursing and midwifery students use an advanced nursing baby to learn handling, bathing, umbilical cord care and positioning and, on many such models, procedures such as feeding tube placement.
Caring for an Infant-Sized Patient
Babies are handled differently from adults, and practice on an infant-shaped manikin builds that confidence. Students learn to support the head and neck when lifting, to bathe and dress a baby without letting it cool, to keep the umbilical stump clean and dry until it separates, and to lay the infant on its back to sleep. Weighing, measuring length and head circumference and taking a temperature are routine checks rehearsed in the same sessions.
Advanced infant manikins usually add procedures. Common ones are orogastric or nasogastric tube insertion for feeding, injection practice into the thigh, where infant intramuscular vaccines are given, and care of stomas or catheters, and some allow basic airway steps. The procedure list for this manikin is not stated in the title and should be confirmed.
Infant nursing differs from adult nursing in scale and speed. Tubes and needles are shorter, volumes are tiny, and babies lose heat quickly, so sessions on the manikin also rehearse keeping the baby covered and working efficiently. For choking relief, the separate baby obstruction model is designed for that drill.
Applications
- Newborn care practicals in midwifery and paediatric nursing courses
- Teaching bathing, cord care, nappy changing and safe sleep positioning
- Practising feeding tube placement and infant injection sites, where the manikin supports them
- Parent-craft and antenatal classes run by health workers

Care & Handling
- Dry the advanced nursing baby thoroughly after bathing practice, including joints and any openings, before dressing or storing it.
- Use water-based lubricant only for tube practice, and flush and dry internal passages as the maker instructs.
- Store it lying in its box or a cot, not squeezed into a cupboard, so the limbs and face keep their shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can students practise on a nursing baby manikin?
Core skills are safe handling, bathing, dressing, umbilical cord care, nappy changing, positioning and routine measurements. Advanced models add procedures such as feeding tube insertion and injection practice.
Where are injections given in infants?
Intramuscular injections, including most childhood vaccines, are usually given into the outer front part of the thigh, the vastus lateralis muscle, because the buttock and upper arm muscles are small in infants.
How should a baby be positioned to sleep?
On the back, in a cot with a firm, flat mattress and no pillows, bumpers or loose bedding. This position lowers the risk of sudden infant death. Nursing students practise settling the manikin this way so the habit carries into their teaching of parents.
How is the umbilical cord stump cared for?
It is kept clean and dry and left open to the air, with the nappy folded below it. It usually falls off within about two weeks. Redness spreading onto the surrounding skin, a bad smell or discharge are signs to report.
Why do babies lose heat so quickly?
They have a large skin surface for their weight, a relatively big head and little insulating fat. During bathing or procedures they are dried promptly and kept covered, and the manikin is used to rehearse working quickly with the baby wrapped.
Is this manikin used for infant CPR?
Some advanced nursing babies allow basic airway and compression practice, but manikins built for infant resuscitation or choking are designed for that training. Many courses use a care manikin for nursing skills and a separate model for resuscitation.
