Speaking from personal experience, that has never worked for me.
There is always a hidden entryway I either don't know about or
can't get to.

Good luck,

I'm having a nervous breakdown. I don't know where all they are
running; though the babe is never left unobserved, so there's not been
any first-hand encounters between him and mice. How freaked out do I
have to be about him being on or near the floor? He's gonna crawl soon
- I think I might just steam the whole house before then.

if possible, invest in a playpen. Its this hexagonal "fence" that
basically isolates the outside world from the baby. You will still need
to supervise of course, but at least you don't have to worry about the
mice getting to baby while your back is turned.
(It's been great for us, because E and the 18 month old 90 lb
puppy-at-heart dog are both "at that stage" !!)

Oh, and de-mouse of course! :-)

That wouldn't work to keep mice out unless it was a mesh one... mice
could easily crawl/climb over a little wooden beam.

They're clever little buggers.
