I bought one of those vinyl shower mats with the suction cups on the bottom and cut it down to fit my kitchen sink. I cut a hole in the middle so the drain stopper would fit. It works great. The cold dryer might be chilling your baby. I use medium heat on a slow setting with Gracie and she loves the warmth. For your baby, you might just start with the bath and let him air dry. When he gets used to that, you can introduce the blow dryer again. Have him join you in your bathroom when you are using the dryer on yourself, to show him that it is not a scary thing.
