There is nothing in Church teaching saying babies go to hell,to say so would be a lie,read the document.

Is there anything in Church teaching which says unbaptized babies will not go to hell?

Now, now, relying on negative proofs? The Church teaching is basically, "we don't know" i.e. limbo. Yet we keep praying for them as we do for all.

The Catholic church is pretty adamant that those who are not baptized go to hell and that baptism is necessary for salvation.

The only reason I think they waffle on the issue of whether stillborn babies or infants go to heaven is to avoid conflict.

They can’t say they do, they can’t say they don’t, so they’re stuck and the only really honest answer is *We don’t know* and people don’t want to hear that.
