Direct flight or connection?

Hi all,

try to understand which would be the best option for a flight with a baby (4 months old).
Flight is Hamburg-Milan; as you know, MXP and LIN are available and LIN would be my best option as is only 25-30min from home, MXP is 1h15min about.

From HAM to LIN no direct flight available, only with connection in FRA (with LH); to MXP there is Eurowings and easyJet.

Direct flight would be 1h40min flight, with connection would be 1h+1h about.
With LH (connection), additional baggage is included for baby too, but that's not so important.

So:

direct: 1h40min flight + 1h15min car == 3h
connection: 1h flight + 1h flight + 30min auto == 2h30min

Problem with connection is disembarking, embarking and so on, but maybe LH offers priority to family with baby?

Thanks
Marco
