Wasn't there a fix to prevent breeding if there weren't enough beds?
We had villagers disappearing after 1.14.3, however they still blocked beds , which prevented the villagers left from breeding to repopulate. Picking up and replacing beds resolved the issue.

has 8 villagers and 16 beds, when they show heart particles after they show particles of anger and do nothing more. Breaking and replacing the beds solved the problem?

In our case, yes, they also showed particles of anger. After breaking/replacing beds and giving them some more potatoes there were baby villagers again.

I already changed the beds, I gave them more carrots but it did not work, they are still dropping particles of heart but they are not reproducing

I'm having the same exact problem, added a screenshot of the problem.

 

Two villagers next to each other full inventory of carrots, they try to breed but then fail and it seems they consume the carrots, which then creates another weird loop where they will only throw the carrots at each other indefinatly, so far no breed even tho they are only 2 villagers and there are 6+ beds.

I put it this way

Villagers need to be able to walk to the bed in order to reproduce.

Matt Pedder say: I'm having same issue, there are more beds than villagers and they can get to the beds, throw them food and they just stand facing each other with food going in a continual loop between the two.

Did you solve your problem?

I have this issue in 1.15.1 as well. Village spawned naturally with 2 villagers – a farmer & a Nitwit. There were plenty of beds in the houses around them, so I threw 3 loaves of bread to each. They emitted hearts, then storm clouds. So I put a bed in every house that didn't have one. Same thing. So I built a multi-level barracks with 15+ beds and 4-block-tall ceiling clearance close to the village bell. The villagers sleep in the barracks, but it's still hearts/clouds when I try to breed them. I put additional beds outdoors, under the sky, so that they're entirely unobstructed. (The barracks is made only of wood – acacia wood blocks + acacia stairs. The villagers have clear access to their beds & their workstations & are allowed to roam. There are 5 - 8 unoccupied, naturally-spawned houses in the village.)

I stayed in the village for several Minecraft days (maybe a week, a week & a half?), leveling up the farmer, making the area safer, occasionally throwing the villagers bread to try breeding them, only to repeatedly have the same results. Then I left. Two of my friends play on our server & have built their house near enough to the village that I think the chunks stay loaded while they're on. When I came back the next IRL day, there was a 3rd villager, a fisherman (I had set down a barrel while building my barracks). My friends had not witnessed his birth/childhood/arrival – I was the first to encounter him.

I wanted to have 3 useful villagers, not 2 useful ones & a Nitwit, and it appeared that (somehow or another) we now had room for 3, so I used the "sand method" to kill the Nitwit passively (via smothering). I traded with the farmer & fisherman a bit, worked more on the surrounding area, gave them both bread: hearts, then storm clouds. Still. Despite the fact that it seems like the village must support 3 villagers (or else how did we get a third?). It seems very unlikely that we somehow just missed this third villager, given A. the amount of time I was in the village, B. the fact that he was not trapped when I found him but wandering freely near the village center, and C. the fact that he was a fisherman instead of a farmer bonded to one of the many composters that existed prior to my throwing down that barrel.

Since finding this small village, we have also found a larger village much, much farther away. I did not deliberately try to breed anyone in the new village, but I witnessed them also go to hearts and then clouds after trading, nonetheless.
