Your vaginal swab report is normal. There are many causes for a baby to develop sepsis 5 days after birth. A vaginal infection will be a rare cause. Prolonged PROM is a more common cause. Your first delivery was normal or a Caesarean ?

Neonatal sepsis has multiple risk factors from birthing process to the handling of baby. I would suggest you to  maintain personal hygiene and focus on a positive birth experience. Kindly connect for detailed discussion.
