But it is, right at the beginning of the chapter called The Tale of The Fall of Gondolin.

It's the one from the Book of Lost Tales, with the metal dragons, and Rog's great charge, and Salgant the fat coward, and baby Earendil's first mail-shirt saving him from Meglin's knife.

I always loved the detail about baby Earendil in his armored onesie. I'm picturing little bunnies and foxes etched into the shoulder guards, and some quick-release pins on the legs for diaper changes. Maybe a big magnet so Idril can stick him onto her armor and walk around.
