I think when DD started sleeping in a bed I stopped worrying. So that was about 3 years.

Wow! I'm a BIG worrier in general but, I thought after 6 mo this wasn't really an issue anymore? Now why did I have to read this thread with #2 coming in a few weeks

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
I am going to be honest, I am not a worrier in general but this is not something I thought about too much. I just did what I could to keep my DS safe and that was it.
DS is 2 (tomorrow).

Honestly, I stopped worrying once he could stand up alone on his crib. But I still worry when he doesn't wake up on time

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
never. People of every age die every day with no known reason. There is no magice age where it stops. Its just called different things at different ages. After one its called Sudden Unexplained Death in a Child

ITA!!! I have a friend who's husband died suddenly for no reason...he was the picture of health.
From what I understand SIDS is no longer a concern after they turn 1...but it seems from other posts that has been pushed back to 2 or 3.
IMO, SIDS isn't caused by sleeping with a pillow or a blanket. It may be a factor but I think babies who die of SIDS have an underlying condition, something that hasn't been diagnosed or something that possibly can't be diagnosed...something that may be "off" with their brain, heart or respiratory syndrome.

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
For us, it was 6 months. My feeling is, I could drive myself absolutely crazy worrying about it and almost waiting for it to happen, or I can try and convince myself that I've done everything humanly possible to try and prevent it.

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
By 6 months I stopped really worrying. But I still go in and check on them every night to make sure they're still breathing.

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
I think 2 is accurate. I recently asked DS's ped if it was OK to give him a blanket at night (he was 18 months) and she said to hold off until 2. She said they recently lost an 18 month old baby to SIDS from their practice.

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
I would say by 6 months but I'm a worrier by nature so if I don't hear her for a while (she's a loud restless sleeper) I go in and check on her...

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
Around 6 mos I suppose, though I still go in to listen to them breathe every night (and if I happen to wake in the middle of the night too). When Reid sleeps "too still" I'll even poke him to get him to wiggle a little 
Beyond that, though, both my kids have blankets, had bumpers, Colin has had a pillow since he's 18 mos, both are belly sleepers...
IMO it's not something I can do anything about so I can't worry myself sick over something totally out of my control.

Really? OMG
I have been giving DD a blanket for a few mths now...felt there was no way around it. I also put bumpers in b/c she kept hitting her head.
I thought around 6mths to 1 year old there was little risk. Now I am worried about giving her the blanket.
So if you don't use a blanket, what do you do at that age? My DD gets so cold despite the heat being up in our house.

IMHO, once a child is old enough to hold up their head, roll over and remove a blanket (and put it on themself) it is OK for them to sleep with it. SIDS happens to children with NOTHING in their cribs.

I agree with this. My cousin died of SIDS, but he was a not in a crib, and didn't have a pillow or blanket with him.
And SIDS is totally unexplained

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
Honestly.....
You never stop worrying....
I still check on the twins and they are going to be 11 next month....
It's not "SIDS" any more per se...(Obviously)...
But Im always going in and checking to make sure they are breathing...

Re: When do you stop worrying about that which cannot be spoken of?
Cailen used a blanket from birth. He had bumpers in his crib from the start. I checked on him every night just to make sure nothing covered his face.
