  1. I knew that I should not have given our baby the antibiotics for the ear infection..

   3. I should not have fed him that eight-ounce bottle before laying him down..
   4. I am having a hard time not knowing what happened. I had just checked on him 20 minutes earlier in the crib, and he was sleeping on his back..
