A excellent description of the neonatal electrocardiogram has been made by Schwarz et al.[1][2]

Conduction
RBBB: if consistent morphology and if QRS width >90ms in children < 4 years and >100ms in children 4-16 years[3] LBBB: if consistent morphology and QRS width >90ms in children < 4 years and >100ms in children 4-16 years[3]
