SIDS ?

As a FTM, I am super paranoid about SIDS. I know the peak is between 2 and 4 months. Maybe this is a silly question but does anyone know if that means when they turn 4 months or through 4 months?

    I heard to six months.. Either way, just be diligent about what you can do to avoid it (back is best, no blankets, etc).

    I've read that it is most common in the second and third months, so it would be less common once they are four months old.

    I thought the peak was until 6 months as well, but I'm on a google hiatus, so I can't double check.

    This is what I've always heard. Although I don't think I'll ever not worry, even after she turns one.

    Ok thanks, that's what I was thinking too. I know the risk really drops after 6 months but I was just trying to figure out if my little guy was past the peak or not!

    I googled but the statistics vary between websites. Most say it peeks between 2 & 4 mo but you're not completely in the clear until 1 year and even then there is a risk for SUID. This website doesn't have a whole lot of info but they have some really interesting graphs!!!

    Lest we all freak out, remember that the SIDS risk is actually incredibly slim, though following the best practices is generally a good idea (i.e. no blankets in the crib, sleeping on back, etc).
