I'd say that the 10 year old has already demonstrated that he can't be trusted holding the baby. Cut him off. This isn't a digital camera or crystal glass we're talking about.

Explain thoroughly why he's no longer allowed to hold the baby. Explain to dad that this is NOT NEGOTIABLE until you've got some sort of assurance that you can count on (I have no idea what that might be) on that the older child can act responsibly as he's been shown.
