That's very reassuring.
I know there's advice elsewhere in this forum to get day flights with children, but I'm expecting LapInfant to settle at my chest within a couple of hours of boarding and remain in her suckling/sleep mode for the rest of the 12 hour journey. One handed eating has become very natural to me.
I guess it's the tray question that I can't actually imagine the answer to.
I've been on six 2.5 hour flights already with my daughter, when she fed from me it was impossible to put down the tray. Thankfully, I wasn't alone for any of these flights so I'm already familiar with baby juggling
