Log in with your United MileagePlus account (or actually with any account), and you'll be able to change the meal preference.
Interesting....
Did that, have no idea if out went through though, doesn't say kosher meal on reservation (don't know if it ever does though)

What do you mean give up? Just wait and see what happens.

I was able to get two tickets from EWR-TLV in February.  However, I forgot to make a reservation for my infant.  Any suggestions on how to add my infant?  Do I call up United?  Wideroe?  I already received my confirmation emails with the United e-ticket number.  Should I wait until United confirms/denies the deal?  Should I act before United makes an announcement?  Any suggestions appreciated.  Thanks.

Some notes on my experience. Anyone with questions about name changes or infants may find this helpful.

For 2 adults and an infant,  Booked ewr-tlv at 1937 last pm.

Was able to assign seats and add frequent flier number on United’s site shortly after.

Etix issued at 0940 this am for all three of us. United reservation reflected the fact that the reservation was ticketed, but there was no mention about an infant.
I called united to request a bassinet and bulkhead. Those requests were honored without any hitch. They acknowledged that an infant was on the reservation.

Name change…
My wife’s passport is still in her maiden name. I accidently booked her ticket in her married name.
While on the phone with united, the rep said there were absolutely no options for changing her name.
I emailed Wideroe with the PNR and eticket number, and this was the response I got.

Dear Sir/Madam

These particular special offer tickets from United Airlines cannot be changed in any way unfortunately. You may cancel within 24 hours of the original purchase and receive a full refund if you wish.
No big deal at this point, except for the trip to the post office and shelling out $$ for a new Passport.

Huge thanks to Dan and the OP, we would have not been able to do this otherwise.
