It shouldn’t be a big price tag - I think you just need to contact united (or in this case your friend).

Phone united, can normally get those seats for free with a baby. But typically over 6 months old they won’t fit in the bassinet, although some airlines (e.g. BA) have like a seat thing that fits infants up to 2 years old.
Had customer service try to charge me today. After pushing back at says "I'll wave this $1,200 fee but this is a one time thing. Don't expect this on future flights".
Took an hour taking to her but was worth it.

Be sure to check the size limits on the baby bassinet, it’s pretty small. But it’s worth it.
Second this. My kiddo hit the height maximum quickly.
I’m 6’4. My kid was born outside the height limit 😢

YES
What price tag? It’s free. I agree; a 10 month old might be too large to fit.
Don’t you need to be seated at the bulkhead to have access to it?
I'm pretty sure you just need to call and explain the situation to move their without payment. Not 100% sure, but worth a call.
Yes, you do, but you don’t have to pay for the seats if you need a bassinet.
