The answer

The burial of a child with an adult deceased has no relation to a good ending (husn al-khatimah) or an increase in good deeds. It is not permissible to bury two people in one grave except out of necessity, according to the consensus of jurists, based on the practice of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions.
