It's my experience that badly behaved children (and adults) are more
common on short haul flights.

I've made very long haul flights where the babies and toddlers on board
were no trouble at all to other passengers. That might reflect on the
kind of confident, relaxed parents who would even think of long distance
travel with tinies; or the effort flight staff put in to seating them
appropriately for a long flight.
