You'll often hear that the most important thing is to support the head, since newborns lack strength in their neck muscles. In reality, a baby's head will not actually fall off if you fail to support it. That said, you get more style points when the child's head is not flopping around.
When lifting the child out of the crib, place the left hand under the base of the skull, and the right hand under their butt. As you lift, move your right hand up the baby's back, folding the legs into the crook of your right elbow. As your right hand reaches the base of the skull, lift the head off of your left hand, and place your right hand in the crook of your left elbow. The baby's entire weight is on your right arm, with the left arm supporting it.
Now we transfer to "burp position". Spread the fingers on your right hand so that the head can be held still. Lift the baby off your left arm; it should now be entirely held with the right arm. Bow your upper body about 45 degrees, and bring the baby close to your chest vertically with the cute face looking over your right shoulder. Stand up straight, nestling the baby's head between your shoulder and neck. You remembered to put a burp cloth over your shoulder first, right? Oh well, now you have a "badge of honor" on your shirt.
