Newborn in Hammock pose

Hi; you more experienced newborn photogs-- when you do a shot where the newborn is in a cheesecloth "swing" or hammock that's knotted around a stick or bar of some type, what set up do you use to hold the stick or bar? I know many just have a parent hold the hammock but i want to use a thick bamboo piece to hold it.
Thanks!

hey there, my uncle made me a wooden holder thing. hard to explain kind of like a lighting stand but in the top it has a 3 grooves for different types of poles and sizes..

Nice! Does he happen to market these? I ended up getting two portable sawhorses that have grooves in the top to hold pipe. Haven't had a chance to try them out yet but hopefully today. Thanks!
