With summer wrapped, it’s time to get Baby ready for a new school year! Follow these simple steps to ensure your RealCare® Baby infant simulators are ready for your students. You’ll also find resources for ensuring you have everything you need for a successful program. Bonus: How-to videos are included!
Step 1: Take an inventory of your supplies
Each Baby should have:
- Student ID with wristband
- Bottle and/or breastfeeding device
- Diapers (one green patch and one yellow patch)
- Two-piece outfit
- Infant Bodysuit
- Sleepwear
- Charger (single charger or 5-baby charger)
Identify any resources that you need to order, like wristbands, so you have the items on hand when school starts in the fall.
Tip: Download our inventory checklists to make this step easier!
Step 2: Restock your inventory with a supply order
Wristbands, student workbooks and other supplies can be ordered online or by contacting our Account Services Team (information@realityworks.com).

It is important to charge your Babies every 2-3 months when they’re not in use. Plus, doing so will ensure they are ready to be used after being stored all summer long.
