Some planes will have slightly larger lavs in the rear for disabled customers, so see if you can use one of these to give you room to spread out. If you're traveling alone, consider the battery operated pump to keep your hands free as you sure don't want to put the baby on the floor in there!
I think she said she was traveling alone? MrsZurick used to sit in window seat and put blanket up. Granted this was in the days and she was once greeted by a cop on exiting for exhibition But the FA then stated that nobody "saw" any thing, just complaints as they knew what was happening.
Make yourself comfortable. With risks today, doubt many FA will hold your child while you do it. The crew seats are a great idea on a long haul.
