The issue isn't whether babies die or not. Tragically they do. But if a baby dies who, under this doctrine, is consider "innocent" are you saying they:

1) Need a Redeemer? (Which begs the question why since they're innocent?)

or

2) Don't need a Redeemer? (Christ didn't die for all)

If I understand correctly, the idea is that they are redeemed in the womb or sometime prior to their unfortunate early demise. They are not "innocent" on their own merits, but are made that way through a special grace of God.
