1. Warm Room Temperature: Ensure the bathroom and the room where the child will be dressed are comfortably warm. This helps to prevent rapid cooling of their body after leaving the warm bathwater.

2. Use a Hooded Towel: Choose a soft, absorbent towel with a hood. The hood can be gently placed over their head to help retain heat and keep their head warm.

3. Pat Dry Gently: Carefully pat the child dry instead of rubbing, which can irritate their skin and cause them to lose body heat.

4. Keep Clothes Ready: Have warm, dry clothes laid out and ready to put on immediately after drying off. This prevents the child from getting cold while you search for clothes.

5. Dress in Layers: Dress the child in layers, starting with lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton. Add additional layers as needed for warmth.

6. Warm Socks and Slippers: If the floor is cold, have socks or slippers ready for them to wear to keep their feet warm.

7. Warm Drinks (if appropriate): For older children, a warm drink like hot cocoa or herbal tea can help warm them up from the inside.

8. Cuddle Time: Wrap them in a warm blanket or cuddle them for a few minutes to help regulate their body temperature.
