17 month old danger magnet + newborn HELP!

i have a 3 week old who is permanently attached to my boob. which is fine, except i also have an intrepid 17 month old who is constantly climbing up to teeter on the arm/back of the sofa, wobbling around (no hands!).

obviously i'm worried about him falling and hurting himself, but i can't physically get him down every time - i would be doing nothing else! we have 2 sofas in our living room, so it's not even like i can stop him by sitting there!

btw, i do say 'no' but he just thinks it's funny and carries on. anyone have any good distraction tips? this is the most baby proof room in the house - short of removing all the furniture, i am stumped!

Can you put the sofa against a wall so he can't fall off the back and put cushions or something on the floor near the arms?

i think cushions on the floor is definitely a good idea. unfortunately, due to the layout of the room only one sofa can fit up against the wall.
