Don't worry about your kid too much, just do your best. Probably 50% or more of the people on the flight are parents or grandparents. We've been there and done that.
I've flown Halifax to Edmonton with a screaming kid right behind me. I had a big smile on my face the whole time... because it wasn't my kid.
But when flying with my kids when they were 1, we played a game called grumpy face, surprised face on takeoff and landing. The surprised face is with the mouth wide open like a yawn. We practiced for a few days before each flight and didn't have any problems on any of the flights.
