Temperature instability with hypothermia is the most concerning sign of neonatal sepsis, requiring immediate intervention due to the newborn's immature immune system and risk of rapid deterioration. Mild jaundice, normal heart rate, and decreased muscle tone during sleep are common or less urgent findings.
