option two is take a bassinet and the seat immediately in front of the bassinet. This allows you to take turns and sit and monitor the baby. This makes for a very impersonal flight as you can’t really talk without getting up.

do note an equipment change throws everything. The other bassinet in non q suite is about two meters from your head meaning if you do sleep and baby wakes up you have a process to get to him which potentially is not great.

our last flight in q suites the attendants were gracious enough to give us the bassinet seats and then open up a middle pair for when it was time to sleep.

if your baby sleeps through then bassinet is perfect. But if your baby wakes a lot then middle seats.

personally we now take the middle seats and still request a bassinet. This only works if flight is not full. If the flight is full again this would depend on your comfort level.

we do not co sleep except on the overnight flights. This is because co sleeping in our opinion is generally not safe. (I am not a doctor nor a professional just an opinion my wife and I share based on what we have read)

what I will say is the cabin crew we get is fantastic. They offer support and help. They even signed a boarding card for our little ones first long haul - literally took the card to every crew member including the captain.
