I give a slight giggle at their nervousness but do understand their plight. I hold Anita properly in my arms, supporting her head although she's at that point in her life where she loves to sit up more than lay down.
"Just like this," I say. "She might wiggle a little cuz she's a wiggle worm but don't be afraid to have a firm grip on her. She's tougher than she looks. She likes to sit up, too, so if you want you could also hold her like this." I hold her so she's sitting upright on my lap facing outward so her head is against my chest if she chooses to flop it, which she probably won't.
Anita herself finds the movements hilarious and she's babbling up a storm while sucking on two fingers.
