If I had the money, business hands down. Those seats are commmmfy and flight attendants don’t treat you like crap. Make sure you’re able to keep kiddo entertained though - I doubt the other business class travelers will be as understanding as everyone in steerage if s/he screams the whole time

How long is the flight?

Few other tips. Safety pins help you pin said towel or blanket over the sleeping kid to block light, white noise machine can help. Being able to not have a kid on your lap so you can eat/sleep/watch movies/sleep, etc. makes a huge difference
