Have you tried a swaddle blanket? At 10 months you would probably need to stretch it to get it to fit around the baby. I had a baby that was like that (parent held her when she slept) I refuse to but found that she loved being in the swaddle blanket & would fall asleep withing 5-15 minutes of being in it. If you can not get a swaddle blanket to work then try taking a larger kids blanket & wrapping her tightly in it. You will need to get it tight enough to were she can not move & wiggle herself out of it. My DCG now will wrap herself up in the blanket when its time for a nap. She will be 1 in a month.
