Some babies are extremely nibby and distractable at this age.  Moms have to
resort to taking them into darkened bedrooms, all alone, for daytime
nursing.

I'd use this idea in the darkened bedroom. It's a phase and will probably
pass.  And mom and baby can come out into the world again eventually :-)
