However, if BA were really harsh, the adult would only get 50% of the total price paid as tier points, as the infant is considered a passenger on the ticket, but can't claim the tier points.

Also, side tracking, but do infants get tier points if they are booked into their own seat vs being a lap-infant?
Why would you not just book the 10pc infant fare separately on a standalone basis? (I did that when making an Avios booking myself, albeit 10 years ago)
