The price will be 10% of the cheapest available adult ticket in the same travelling class (I.E. economy, PE, business or first!) for the same sector. One cannot redeem such an in-lap infant ticket with award miles.

If you want your infant child to occupy a separate seat next to you, you can book this with miles. It will cost you the same as an adult award ticket.
As is common with most airlines unfortunately. Notable exceptions being BA, Aeroplan & Virgin Atlantic. Of course no good for SQ if you want to fly longhaul J as they do not release seats to partners
