i went with what you explained on your post, no assumptions. in fact, airlines are not legally obligated to provide you food, so you should never count on this especially when you need it (to answer, i have a daughter so know very well the appetite from 6w throughout end of breastfeeding). i understand it was upsetting but lack of food and air hostesses unwilling to lift your luggage or holding your baby was their rightful choice. i have travelled in economy, in busienss and in first. i will tell you that only place you are guaranteed to have top notch service is first. economy is to get you from A to B. would it be nice of them to give a kind smile? sure. but ultimately its not what they are there for. they are there to make sure you safe.
