The significance of the infant care model for Down syndrome lies in helping caregivers and medical students gain a deeper understanding of the physical features, physiological characteristics and special care needs of children with Down syndrome.

This model is designed based on the typical features of Down's syndrome infants, such as a flat face, upward-sloping eye fissures, and low muscle tone, truly reproduces the physiological state of the affected children, enabling trainees to recognize the disease's characteristics through intuitive demonstrations.

By performing nursing operations such as feeding, turning over, bathing, position placement, and rehabilitation training on the model, learners can master the correct nursing methods and understand how to prevent common complications such as asphyxia, infection, and developmental delay.

This model is not only used in nursing teaching and rehabilitation training courses, but also widely applied in parent training and health education, helping family members enhance their care capabilities. Its application has promoted the humanistic care awareness of medical staff, enhanced their understanding and care level for special children groups, and has significant educational and social significance.
