well, by definition Cot death is the sudden unexpected death of an apparently well baby aged from birth to two years. You might hear it called sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

However, most cases occur in babies under the age of five months

Answer 10

The 'Risk' drops drastically when the baby can roll over on their own: and drastically drops again at 6 months.

It's referred to as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and most likely to happen between 2-5 months.

After 6 months it drastically drops, and is no longer a threat when the baby reaches 12 months (their First birthday.)
