Water cradle

Hold your child in the armpit grip and tilt them slightly toward your weaker hand. Release your strong hand, place it behind the infant's back and gradually lean the toddler into a back-floating position; then position the freed arm behind the back as well. The child reaches the back-float without ever losing eye contact, and the large support surface suits children under six months.
