[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is not what you want to hear, but take it from a single mom: the people around you paid a LOT of money (or points) to have space and QUIET in business class. Please do not bring your baby, who may sleep like a champ or may cry inconsolably and uncontrollably for hours, into business class on an international flight.

Before I became a mom, I used to travel halfway around the world all the time for work and we flew business class. Comfort plus total peace and quiet. This summer I took my kids, who are older now, to Italy, and a family with young kids (maybe 5-8YO?) were in business class and the kids had piles of toys/activities. I thought that was fine because the kids were big enough to behave properly.

Granted, I have traveled with an infant, and even with an infant and toddler only across the country but never overseas, so you can say I do not know what I am talking about. And of course, you are paying for your seat, too.

Your question specifically was about etiquette. You already know to say, "I am so sorry my baby is screaming," but do you really think that's enough?[/quote]

Um no. This is horrible advice. OP please ignore this poster. 
There is no guarantee that if you pay "a lot of money or points" you get a quiet experience. You get more space, and free luggage check, and meals and drinks, but a quiet space is not something you are guaranteed.  
OP is paying the same as others and he/she has every right to bring her infant with her.

OP. Bring your baby and enjoy the flight.  Follow the same etiquette rules you follow daily.
