Yes sure,
ask for a help and assist service it might cost 50$ maximum, also consult ur office ticketing office or the airline representatives whether if a ten months babe require a ticket or additional seat, if not they will grant a free seat belt for ur child who will sit with u insame seat, a tip for u, the airplane wont. Be full so u can take a double seat, also the fitst class wont b full so just make a complain and sit there qatarairways is one of few generous airlines that u will probably like, good luck and land safely to qatar, if u need any assistant here there are lot options, qatar is a nice country
regards
Will you have your baby on your lap during the car ride to the airport?
No!
Whilst on the plane, will you use the the seat belt when asked to do so?
Definitely!
So book a seat for your 10 month old. Then carry the baby's car seat so he too can be strapped in safely. This will protect the baby in case of turbulence. Left on your lap, the baby might as well be your airbag.
thank u for the advice.
Both of the above QLers has given some valuable tips already. The main thing is what tinkerbel told you. Keep the ears closed during the take off and landing otherwise infants are prone to get air into their ears which will block their ears and thus pain. So avoid such things by covering both ears and keep the baby busy in drinking or else they will be crying through out the flight and they could get ear infection and fever after the journey.
You should request the travel agency to book you a seat with basinet which will help you to keep the baby while they are sleeping to enable you to relax. Warm water can be requested from the crew but better to carry a sterilized feeding bottle with something milk if you are not breast feeding.
OOppps sorry, i read 1 month instead of 10, hence adviced of seat with baby cot.
Tinkerbell sounds helpful though and to the point.
Inform Qatar Airways about the baby you are carrying. They will arrange a baby cot seat in the plane. These seats are limited, where you have leg space and in front a small foldable cot for baby.
This you can request while check-in too.
Happy journey, welcome to qatar.
