Thank you to all the editors who helped to get this article to a stub, then a start, then a C class article. And now it is going to be a "Did you know...." article listed on the main page within a week!

The article lead says "Though antibiotics can be effective and methods of pathogen identification is faster" but I'm not sure what it means. Perhaps faster than it used to be?... Gandydancer ( talk) 17:57, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Also, the text says:Group B Streptococcus are typically identified as the cause of the majority of early-onset infections in the neonate.[4] This pathogen is vertically transmitted (transmitted directly from the mother) to the infant.[6] Enteric bacilli that originate from the digestive system of the mother have become as prevalent as the group B Streptococcus pathogens and are currently as likely to cause infection. This has me confused. Gandydancer ( talk) 20:17, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
The table in "Diagnosis" states that chest recession is "when the baby inhales, the ribs do not move but the belly sinks in." I don't think that's the correct meaning of chest recession. What exactly does the reference (Sinha) state?
As an aside, I don't think that it's acceptable to refer to an entire book as an inline citation. The purpose of inline citations is to provide verifiability. That particular book has 388 pages. It is unreasonable to expect a reader to seek out verification in that way. Axl ¤ [Talk] 16:49, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

This article has been rated as C-class on the project’s quality scale and rated as high importance on the project’s importance scale. This article provided a decent number of causes for neonatal infections, but it did not include any detail for the hepatitis viral family as well as reasoning for vaccination and long-term complications of hepatitis infections. Our plan is to add the viral hepatitis family to the whole page - include why vaccinate, prenatal measures, treatment, and a brief explanation of the pathophysiology of hepatitis. We also plan on removing inaccurate medical information.

Peer review: The authors identified an important area (hepatitis) that was not previously included in the page. The authors added a comprehensive and thorough section on neonatal hepatitis infection, which was supported by good quality references. The language was clear and at a good reading level. Areas for continued improvement on the page is to revise the use of gendered language (e.g., changing mother to terms like "pregnant person" and "gestational parent" to reflect that diverse genders can be pregnant and give birth). One additional suggestion is to embed more Wikilinks in the article - for example, it could be helpful to add links when discussing types of viruses (like single stranded vs double stranded and RNA vs DNA viruses).
