The figures, which have been released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), said the total number of cot deaths in 2014 was 128. This compares to 165 in 2013. In 2004, there were 207 cases of sudden unexplained infant deaths.
Experts have said that the fall is due to a number of factors, including fewer women smoking. Campaigns to teach new parents the safest sleeping position for their baby have also been suggested as a reason for the decline.
Elsewhere, the ONS said that the fall was driving the downward trend in overall unexplained infant deaths. Statistics include cot deaths (sudden infant death syndrome) as well as deaths of children younger than one for which the cause remained unknown even after a full investigation.
Together, these accounted for 8% of all infant deaths in England and Wales in 2014. Just over half of the victims were boys.
