Its hard to tell, it can occur at any time really in infancy. After 2-3 months though when the baby can support its head/lift up onto their arms the chances significantly decrease. Until then just watch the baby closely-don't have loose blankets/pillows in the crib, make sure they're sleeping on their back (its okay if they roll themselves over, just gently nudge them back to their back if it makes you too nervous).

∙ 13y agoSudden infant death syndrome usually affects babies between 2 - 4 months. The majority of the cases affect babies younger than 6 months. SIDS is the leading cause of death in babies who are 1 - 12 months old. It's important to do everything possible to lower your babies' risk of SIDS by putting the baby to sleep on his back, don't expose the baby to smoke (it's a good idea to have people wash their hands and clothes before holding the baby b/c of the chemicals), don't let the baby sleep with anything in his crib (INCLUDING BUMPERS), make sure the baby doesn't get overheated while he sleeps (the baby should not wear a hat to sleep in) and get proper prenatal care.

What is SIDS?
SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the death of an apparently healthy infant that remains unexplained after a thorough autopsy and death scene investigation. There appears to be no suffering in most cases; death occurs very rapidly, usually during sleep. SIDS is the leading killer of infants between one week and one year with an approximate rate of two per thousand live births (1 in 500). 6,000-7,000 babies die of SIDS every year in the US. The peak age is around two to four months and the majority of the deaths occur during the winter months (October to April in the Northern Hemisphere). Researchers believe that SIDS probably has more than one cause, although the final process appears to be similar in most cases. SIDS can not predicted, prevented, or reversed.
