When can I stop worrying about SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)?

When your baby turns 12 months old. However, I believe as babies grow up and can control their bodies more, they are less likely to suffocate. My baby recently loves to sleep on her tummy but I make sure that her cot does not have any hazardous material or soft bedding which may potentially suffocate her. I also use a mesh cot bumper.

Hi, Most SIDS deaths occur when in babies between 1 month and 4 months of age, and the majority (90%) of SIDS deaths occur before a baby reaches 6 months of age. However SIDS deaths can occur anytime during a baby's first year. SIDS is a sudden and silent medical disorder that can happen to an infant who seems healthy.

By definition, SIDS is a condition that happens between babies between one and 12 months. Hence, you can stop worrying about this once your baby past one year of age. The risk is highest for babies between one and four months old and 90% of the cases happened in babies younger than six months old.
