I had a baby in July. He was in the NICU and passed away 12 days after he was born. Could my boyfriend or I could claim him seeing as his medical bills are substantial?

Assuming your boyfriend is the child's father, either of you can claim the child as your dependent, claim head of household status, and take the medical expense deduction for the non-reimbursed medical expense.  Be sure you9 put that he lived with you "all year".

Sorry for your loss.
