Hi Boo,
I totally agree with you that the very young who died would most certainly have been loved and mourned. For this reason I also like to find and document these babies and toddlers in my own family history. This often increases the size of families somewhat. For example, when I first started out researching a Grandfather's family I thought he was the youngest of seven. However, now through researching Church records to date I have found he was actually the youngest of ten. I have also found that in the past if a child died parents sometimes went on to record a future child of the same name if it was a particular 'family name'. My own Granfather called his first daughter the same name as was given to his baby sister who had died a few years before he was born.
Best Wishes
