I wouldn't anticipate problems for your mother who is breastfeeding well her 8 month old.

My daughter had a helmet for a while.  It is not very hard to breastfeed with the helmet and one get used to it fairly quickly.  Obviously, it is not as "nice" as without the helmet, but what can you do...  I found that taking it off and on was more disturbing for the baby than just leaving it on.

I am not very familiar with the current wisdom on helmets, but my question would be whether it has to be worn all the time, or whether it can be removed for nursing?
