It's something that all new mothers worry about but try not to get too parinod over it and i know thats easy to say. Your main consern is to protect your baby and that's a mothers instinct. No one really knows what causes it if they did babies would stop dieing.
Lie your baby either in his side or on his back. Don't put his head to close the the bars pull him down a bit and don't overload him with blankets. Gettsing too hot isn't good. Have a foam mattress and not plastic. I hope i've been of some help. Don't worry too much enjoy your babies.
