On travel cot, could family over there sort one for you, probably easier if you don't have to carry that with you!
Your child will probably cope with the time zone issues better than you! Lucky that you're travelling with other people
Take spare clothes for baby and for yourself, just because you never know
For travel covered by the relevant Montreal Convention, if the airline accepted to check it in, then the airline is subject to liability for the stroller under the terms of the Convention even if the airline claims an exclusion from liability due to nature of the goods and/or type of packing.
US DOT had to warn airlines in the US that the airlines' electronics exclusion for checked luggage liability doesn't apply to such Convention-covered trips.
