Core Tip Early onset neonatal sepsis is rare yet fear of missed serious infection continues to drive widespread empirical antibiotic use, exposing large numbers of well newborns to avoidable harm. This review synthesises contemporary evidence underpinning the paradigm shift in neonatal antibiotic stewardship, critically comparing traditional categorical guidelines with multivariate risk prediction tools and serial physical examination strategies. By integrating epidemiology, emerging United Kingdom and international data, and evolving clinical practice, it provides practical insights into how antibiotic exposure can be safely reduced without compromising outcomes, supporting more precise, family-centred, and evidence based care.
