Does anyone know a Catholic saint for stillborn babies, the death of a baby, or the death of a brother/sibling? I would prefer that they be female, but anything is appreciated.

To "SoCalKim" : We do not worship saints, and they are not idols: They are real people who have gone to heaven. Quit being a goof

I'd be Patron Saint of Bright Shiny Things and Patron Saint of Bourbon.

Not sure there is a saint specifically for stillborns but St. Jude is the Patron of Children and Lost Causes. I prayed to him for comfort after I miscarried.

I can't think of her name but, there was recently a woman who was beatified because she had the chance to abort a child and live because the abortion would be the effect of the lifesaving surgery she needed for her cancer or just let nature take its course and deliver her baby but, it would then be too late for her surgery. She chose the babies life and she died shortly thereafter. I bet if you google recent Saints and cancer and Motherhood you could come up with her name. If I can I will later

St. Brigid is the patron saint of babies and St. Frances is the saint of dead children.

I love this website. A lot of the saints have other patronages - so I suggest looking through them to find one that suits another need you may have.
Under 'D' is a section for death of a child - there are a handful of saints for this.
Edit - SoCalKim : get over yourself. We don't pray to saints, we ask for their help in times of need and they are here for comfort.

I'd suggest praying to Jesus about the baby. He is the only one that can comfort.
