First Time Flying on TK

I'll be flying on TK for the first time in Feb. I'm going to ISL from IAD via IST with my wife and 1 and half year old son. We were thinking of spending a day in IST before getting on our flight to ISB. We plan on leaving IAD (TK 008) on 17th, spend 17th in IST, and leaving for ISB (TK 0710) on the 19th.

I have a couple of questions,

1) How is the experience travelling on TK with a small child. We'll be travelling in Y so I'm not expecting anything special but will it be similar to EK's economy?

2) Should I ask TK to provide us with a hotel room while we are in IST since the only possible connection we can get is exceeding 24 hours? Also, any suggestion on places we may need to visit. I have never been to Turkey but I've always wanted to visit especially to see the amazing mosques Turkey has to offer.

Any help here will be highly appreciated!
