I was raised as a Catholic, but I left the church when I was young. It always used to bother me that infants who die didn't get to go to heaven according to their doctrine. They told me infants went to Limbo. I hear the church has since decided to abandon that crazy idea. Now that I know scripture, I don't worry about it anymore. Believers will be roused for eonian life when Christ returns. Those who never heard the evangel, those who can't comprehend it, and even those who reject it will eventually be vivified when death is abolished at the consummation of the eons. So all will not be saved for eonian life, but all will be saved from death.
"We rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of believers." (1 Timothy 4:10)
"For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified. Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence; thereafter the consummation" (1 Corinthians 15:22-24)

It is more clear when it reads "Truly, I say to you this day (today), you will be with me in Paradise (at the 1st resurrection when I return)."
We all sleep and are unconscious of life when we die. This includes everyone, no matter what age at death. But Praise God, Jesus is coming back and those in Christ will be resurrected at the 1st resurrection. The little children and even the aborted infants are included in the first resurrection.

What about these babies?
The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.(Hosea 13:16)
At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused to open their gates. He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women. (2 Kings 15:16)
Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey. (1 Samuel 15:3)
Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us. He who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. (Psalms 137:8-9)

Here is one scripture that applies to children:
This is refered to as the age of accountability. Meaning that babies and very young children do not have understand good or evil or have the ability to understand the gospel or any biblical concept, so they can not make choices to which they can be held accountable. This means they are considered innocent. Below is a verse that refers to small children as being "innocent"
I believe this means that very young children down to new borns and possibly even miscarried children will be in Heaven waiting for their parents.

I join BettieB in saying thank you for the loving words of God that you dear people have written here. My daughter went on ahead of us, at 3 months, cot death. It is a comfort that Sukey is 'waiting for me' what a lovely thought....it heals a broken heart to know that our children are not 'lost' but safe and simply 'gone on ahead' of thier family. God Bless you for your thoughtfulness & gentleness of your posts...true fruits displayed friends! <><
