I dont need a sound monitor because the nursery will be right next door. Not sure which one to get the movement one for SIDS or the video one so you can see the baby at all times?
Answer
There's pro's and con's for each and most baby monitors will state on them that they aren't 100% accurate, especially the movement detectors for SIDS. There is no way a machine can work reliably 100% accurately on detecting movement to prevent SIDS.
If you're really worried about not being able to see your baby then I would opt for the video monitor so you can see him or her moving in the night and possibly see their chest rise and fall (depending on the quality of the image and light source).

how common is it like 1 in ever 20 babys more or less what can u do to prevent it what causes it?
Answer
Well luckily SIDS is happening less now than ever before. Sadly, about 1 in 2000 babies will die of SIDS. There are many things you can do to reduce your child's risk.
1. Place infants to sleep on their backs, even though infants may sleep more soundly on their stomachs. Infants who sleep on their stomachs and sides have a higher rate of SIDS than infants who sleep on their backs.
2. Place infants to sleep in a baby bed with a firm mattress. There should be nothing in the bed but the baby - no covering, no pillows, no bumper pads and no toys. Soft mattresses and heavy covering are associated with the risk for SIDS.
3. Do not over-clothe the infant while he/she sleeps. Keep the room at a temperature that is comfortable for you. Overheating an infant may increase the risk for SIDS.
4. Avoid exposing the infant to tobacco smoke. Don't have your infant in the same house or car with someone who is smoking. The greater the exposure to tobacco smoke, the greater the risk of SIDS.
5. Breast-feed babies whenever possible. Breast milk decreases the occurrence of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Studies show that breast-fed babies have a lower SIDS rate than formula-fed babies do.
6. Avoid exposing the infant to people with respiratory infections. Avoid crowds. Carefully clean anything that comes in contact with the baby. Have people wash their hands before holding or playing with your baby. SIDS often occurs in association with relatively minor respiratory (mild cold) and gastrointestinal infections (vomiting and diarrhea).
7. Consider using home monitoring systems (apnea/bradycardia monitors) in an attempt to prevent sudden death in high-risk infants.The risk of SIDS in the following groups exceeds that of the general population by as much as 5 to 10 times:
-Infants born weighing less than 3.5 pounds.
-Infants whose sibling died of SIDS.
-Infants exposed to cocaine, heroin, or methadone during the pregnancy.
-The second or succeeding child born to a teenage mother.
-Infants who have had an apparent life-threatening event.
