Judge Denis Lordon of the provincial court ordered the 41-year-old Riverview woman to stand trial following a preliminary hearing in Moncton.
The boy’s remains were found on a remote logging road near Monteagle, N.B., in April 2009.
The child became known as Baby Taylor in the weeks after his body was discovered based on the name of the road where he was found.
The trial will be held in the Court of Queen’s Bench, but a date has not been set.
