Our minds are too small to understand God's motives. We just can't. Our darkest trials make us stronger. For all we know, those babies simply weren't meant to live, and the parents had to go through that pain to learn a lesson. We all have free will, and most of that pain comes from our own doing, but like a good parent, God is always there, trying to steer us in the right direction. Be thankful for what you have, and grateful for what you get.
Why does God allow some infants to live and some to die, if he wishes us to go forth and multiply?
Obviously, he had a hand in keeping this young miracle alive. However, some are not so lucky.
