8. Aveilus [Shiva/Shloshim] for a Nefel who died: [1]
The relatives do not sit Shiva or Shloshim after the passing of a Nefel. A Nefel in this regard is defined as any child who passed away within thirty days of birth, and it has not been factually determined that he was born after a full nine months. This applies even if the child was fully developed upon being born. See Chapter 12 Halacha 5 for the full details of this subject!
