OTOH, I really hope this kid was wearing a very thick absorbent diaper. Liquids sometimes drip down from the ceilings of aircraft, but I wouldn't want to be sitting underneath a baby that isn't housebroken (toilet trained).

To be honest, despite I am French, I am the first to say these A330 are crap, the IFE's are miserable in economy and premium economy. Meals are good but the rest is horrible, including service too.
I fly delta metal as much as I can.

I remember that AF used to have such attacheable overhead baby bassinets on their A310. Not kidding, and not that long ago. The last one retired from the fleet in 2003. During seatbelt sign the baby had to be taken out of it though.

Can't remember!
I do know that I took my first flight at the age of three weeks, and had completed four by the age of one month.
I also know that I flew at least once in a carry cot placed on the floor in the aisle. Many years later my dad told me how cold the aircraft cabin was on that particular flight.
At the age of four I flew seated in my dad's lap. He in turn was in the jump seat, as the flight was fully booked. That's the first flight I can remember, albeit vaguely.
When my dad traveled on business and found himself with a weekend off somewhere, he would go to the nearest airport and get a (nonrev) ticket to whatever destination, as long as he could fly back the same day. He once managed to get a ticket from Lahore to Peshawar (or Rawalpindi, I forget which. Somewhere in Pakistan, in any case). Since the flight was full, the ticket was issued on the condition that he stood, or sat on the floor. Turned out to be a really turbulent flight, so he had a lot of fun.
