Sinclair Ross wrote some short stories where babies die.

one hundred years of solitude

Leopoldo Bloom's son dies in"Ulysses." It's actually a not uncommon plot device.

Take for instance Beloved from "Beloved."

I think a baby dies in The Pearl by Steinbeck.

The Road

yuuuum

The Earthquake in Chile by Kleist.

Two come to mind....

There's the baby in Bleak House. That's sad.

And in The Road. I remember reading it for the first time thinking to myself, there should be a dead baby somewhere soon. And lo and behold, the baby bbq scene. McCarthy is so fucking predictable.

Reply to this post or your baby will die in its sleep tonight

Hasn't there been a facebook livestream of a Thai man hanging his girlfriend's infant? Search for that one, it's all over the interwebz - it's just hard finding the video in good quality.

Grapes of Wrath too. Steinbeck is nearly as fond of dead babbies as McCarthye
