How do i put a foley catheter in a girl?

Practice or help.: The female urethra can be difficult to expose and place a Foley catheter with sterile technique. The best way is to have help (an assistant or the patient) to spread the labia for better exposure. At times a light source can help, but in many cases the catheter needs to be directed by feel. If the tip of the Foley can be placed successfully, the short urethra allows for easy deployment.

Get training: One can't learn this by reading about it. Learning how to place a Foley catheter, particularly inside a young girl, needs to be demonstrated and supervised. It isn't easy to distinguish between the urethra and vagina in a young girl. Sterile technique is vital.
