There is no device that can prevent SIDS. Baby monitors often give new parents a sense of comfort and reassurance but they do not reduce the risk of SIDS. Avoid products that claim to reduce the risk of SIDS because most have not been tested for effectiveness or safety. The best way to reduce the risk of SIDS is to place your baby on their back to sleep. If you have questions about using a home monitor, talk to your doctor or clinic.
