Me parece mejor "tener en brazos" pero entiendo que "sostener" y "agarrar" sirven bien. - ribower, Mar 1, 2012
Nila I was also looking at tener, but our SD dictionary shows it more to hold a conversation. http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/sostener - bandit51jd, Mar 1, 2012

May I grab your baby?? - ribower, Mar 1, 2012
I try to validate all my answers with accredited resources before I resond. One of the definitions of agarrar is to hold. - SanMateo1, Mar 1, 2012
agarrar also means to hold. i'm not sure if this is or is not the best way to say it, but at the very least you will be understood - tsgrantham, Mar 1, 2012
Thanks. I didn't mean to insult your translation. It just a delicate request and I don't want someone to take it the wrong way. - ribower, Mar 1, 2012
Ha ha ha! That is why direct translation is not always the best way! - farallon7, Mar 1, 2012
