The BA website seems to assume he would be a lap child and lists the 10% Avios cost, but I would really like to get a seat for the infant. Any idea how I can do this? Is it possible through the website, or do I need to call? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
From ba.com:
Infant and child tickets
We offer some discounts for infants and children on our flights. However they do vary, so check your price quote on ba.com for full details.
The fare you pay for your infant will differ, depending on where your infant sits.
Sitting on an adult's lap - Infant fare
An infant fare is charged at 10% of the adult fare when the infant does not have his/her own seat, but sits on an adult’s lap.
A separate seat for your infant - Child fare
If you would like your infant to sit in his/her own seat (as long as they are between 6 and 23 months), you'll pay a child fare. This can't be booked online, so contact us and we'll be pleased to help you.
