I am not sure I believe some of these baby ones. It was the way back then for parents to hide in the background so they could take photos of their babies. Not because the baby was dead but because they couldn’t or wouldn’t sit up by themselves.
Why hide, though? During the 70’s my grandma took family photos with me and my sister, it was quite common. I think it’s strange to hide whilst holding the baby dead or alive. But hey, no judgement on my part, the Victorians had customs that felt were right to them, who I am to say they were wrong.
I pretty sure their dead now
this baby looks a little blurry, like he must have moved. Not sure this is postmortem.

Not all “hidden mother” photos are holding deceased babies. This child is not dead. The image would be clearer if baby was deceased.
Maybe the woman started crying and moved accidentally
