You cannot purchase extra baggage allowance for infants on any route.

Exceptions

Gold and Silver Executive Club members can carry 2 bags in all cabins, on all routes.

The following customers are entitled to a 32kgs baggage allowance per bag at no additional charge:
Customers travelling to and from Brazil.
Premier, Gold and Silver Executive Club members & American Airlines Executive Platinum and Iberia Plus Platinum.
This applies to all passengers travelling on the same booking.
First, Club World and Club Europe customers on all routes.

Connections

If you have multiple flights with BA on the same PNR in differing classes then the highest allowance you have on your journey applies across the entire journey. If you have bought separate tickets for travel on BA, each flight is treated individually and the class of travel for that flight applies.

If you are connecting to another airline you will need to check the restrictions for that airline, as that will apply to the next leg of your journey.

Franchises & Codeshares

If you are travelling on either of these check your travel documents and/or with the airline as to your allowance.
