Very difficult to do with babies. They are fast and skittish. The best thing to do when they are that young is to sit in the bathtub with them. They can get used to being held that way and can't run off and hide somewhere.
I didn't let mine run around when they were babies other than in the tub or on the bathroom floor with the door closed.

mine is very calm for a baby when hes out of his tank. other then the normal wondering around. but i keep an eye on him an he doesnt run or anything when i pick him up to hold him or anything.

You can get a harness or make one.

my lil dino is very calm everywhere i have him in the house other than on our couch, for some reason he thinks he can climb the walls in our apartment, kind of look like popcorned ceiling, very textured, he trys to just and cling but never works.. i would just get her comfy with wherever you place her, keep your hands close and reposition her if she gets to close to the edge, she will probably want to explore but if you keep moving her back to the center she may learn the boundries

my baby use to be calm but now she just wants to run everywhere she is fast and i think i might try the bath tub thing

Stimpy starts off fine lol then runs off trying to climb the walls to. he eventually tires himself out and gives up and comes back for cuddles to warm up lol

When Stimpy and Liz were babies i used to use the bath method, it got them used to being out the tank, in my company and eventually i moved to letting them out.

be patient and it will pay off
