cradle hold
Infant carrying position
A cradle hold is a way of carrying a baby horizontally with its head supported in the crook of your arm and its body resting along your forearm.
The position mimics how an infant lies in a cradle.
In wrestling and martial arts, a cradle hold pins an opponent by wrapping arms around their head and leg, curling them into a ball.
