Do dead babies grow up in heaven, or are they still the same size and age that they were when they died.

The bible doesn't answer this one. I personally don't think they will stay as babies in heaven just as people who die old will not be old. the bible says we will be given a new body and I would imagine it will be a body that can voluntarily be able to worship God etc.
My daughter died at a few weeks old and I always imagine her as a beautiful young woman in heaven.
This is one of those questions that will be answered when we get there!

No one really knows...I suppose if you ask the same question in a different context, that is, when we go to heaven, do we continue to grow or stay the same size??
We do know, atleast from a Christian perspective, that everyone will ressurect and take on new heavenly bodies that does not need food or drink or even procreate. thus this indicates that the usual bodily organs responsible for administering these functions will no longer be their, and Christ said that in heaven we will be "like angles in the presance of God." having said that, although the body may be destinctly 'different', yet we will recognise each other somehow, as in the story of Lazerus and the rich man, there was clear recognition of everyone there.
So I guess the most probable answer is that Babies, just like you and I, will take on a new glorified body that they will use to enter and live in heaven, and we will be able to recognise them one way or another through God's mysterious grace that He bestowes upon us.
I hope this helps...God Bless

No, there is no age after death. When you die you are a spirit until the resurrection, and no one knows what form this takes while in Paradise. Also, you assume and infer that when the ghost is given up that we are conscious and not resting in peace, if we do rest than they will simply awake at the resurrection in their new bodies.
I would assume that on the new earth after the Resurrection people would most likely look in their prime 20-25 years old before they stop growing and begin to grow old, but it may be that everyone who is taken younger than this will grow to this age on the new Earth.

Holy Innocents (toddlers and young ones) The Holy Innocents have been the 14,000 toddlers slain via King Herod in Bethlehem after Christ’s start, to that end starting to be to be the 1st martyrs for Christ. The Church recalls this on December 29. The Magi interior the East beheld a sparkling megastar interior the heavens, foretelling the Nativity of the King of the Jews. They journeyed at modern-day to Jerusalem to worship the baby, and the megastar confirmed them the way. Having worshiped the divine infant, they did no longer return to Jerusalem to Herod, as he had ordered them, yet being warned via God in a dream, they went returned to their usa via yet in any different case. Herod ultimately found out that his scheme to locate the baby does no longer succeed, and he ordered that each and all of the male toddlers 2 years previous and youthful at Bethlehem and its atmosphere be killed. He thought that the divine infant, Whom he considered a rival, may be between the ineffective toddlers. ___ The Holy Innocents are in heaven, to notwithstanding if or no longer they advance up or no longer isn't undemanding from something that I easily have study. If i replaced into going to wager, i might say that as souls are all created with particular skills - the lack of earthly journey for an infant soul does no longer supply up them from starting to be their religious skills. notwithstanding if that constitutes adulthood - i do no longer understand.

Any baby or young child goes to heaven automatically, God doesn't lose babies. These Babies grow and are being taught of God.

I have it on the best authority that babies go to heaven, even if they are not baptised, and they age at a normal rate until they are 32, older people get younger each year until they are 32.

Actually, according to the Catholic church, they don't go to heaven at all. They used to say that they went to hell (mostly to try to scare people into not having abortions) but they changed their minds a few weeks ago and decided that dead babies go to limbo instead. Funny how you can just change your mind on something like that - kinda like you're just making up crap in the first place, huh?

They Grow Up in Heaven.
If (GOD Forbid of course) a Whole Family Believes Who Jesus Said HE was, and Perish's, they will Continue to Raise their Kids and Babys in Heaven TheirSelves (Parents).

Great question.
I'm sure they at least grow wings, or they'd just be a bunch of pudgy, no-winged, non-flying, little dudes up there.
Just kidding. I hope they don't! We're much better and innocent people when we're babies!
