Keeping babies from falling over when shooting...

[Lmphotos]

Your baby is to old for one thing. All my newborns that I pose are under 10 days old this is when they are nice and still and not moving and when you get them to sleep they just lay there. Also if you do try a newborn in a basket always weight the basket down with at least as much weight as the baby (I use 10 lbs) that covers my 7lb babies well. At this point in your babies life lifestyle photography works well. When he is sitting up on his own or can do the "mini" push up it gets fun again! P.s. if you ever do put a baby in a bowl or a basket always always always have 2 spotters on each side! Even though they look asleep they still have reflexes and will startle sometimes.
