We took lots of snacks and collected about 4 cartons of pre-made formula after security. The key to it is toys, milk and food. It keeps them quiet. On the day flight she slept for 3 hours (out of 8) and on the night flight she slept 7 hours (out of 8 hours). If you take the 2 centre seats in Club World (E&F) then you've got good privacy once the screens go up. A good thing to bear in mind is that although you can hear your baby being a baby (the occasional cry, whimper, laugh, giggle, snore) that virtually no one else can as the engines drown it out. I know this because we couldn't hear the baby at the other end of Club World! I hope this helps but don't be worried - it's fine and certainly a lot better than being in Economy.

So you had the baby on your lap then? Was it roomy enough when you slept? I don't know how our seats will be. It is in KLM new buisiness class, which I have never flown in, only the old. I just know it's alot better than the old because there is lie flat. My son loves to sleep on his father now, but who knows what he'll be like in 7-8 months. I was kinda hoping it won't sell out and they will let us put him in the extra seat if there is one nearby. That happened to us on a flight in US domestic first and they had no problem with us bringing his car seat on board and using the empty seat. I know thats probably unlikely though.
