SQ Rules/Pricing For Infant in Arms on Award Ticket
My wife and I are thinking of redeeming SQ miles to Fly First on SQ LAX - SIN once we find some availability. We are expecting a baby and will likely fly with an infant-in-arms.
Does anyone here have experience how they price these awards taxes/fees for infants? Is it a flat fee? Is it a 10% of the normal fare, or full fare? Any insights are appreciated.

OK - so to confirm the 10% of Fare is off the full F fare taxes/fees amount. If BLR - FRA - BOS is $10,000 one-way in F then the taxes/fees on the infant is $1,000... correct?

No way it'll cost that much.
Just did a dummy booking, the cost of taxes/fees for one way LAX - SIN is US$360 in F.
Your bigger problem is finding saver awards in first. I had to go all the way to July to find one and that too was one with a ridiculously long layover in Tokyo.Saver award is 91375 miles including the online 15% discount for one way LAX-SIN. The more likely standard award is 178500 miles incl the 15% online discount.

Sorry, a litte confused here... so the infant fare is 10% + full taxes? I don't assume there is a way to pay that by miles 
Btw what is the unwritten law when traveling in F with infant in arms? I dont suppose F cabin pax like bawling babies on a long-haul.

Maybe you are better off booking a full award fare for your infant if you have plenty of miles to burn?
