Saying doctors would be OK with post-viability abortions in the case of a major (though still viable) birth defect does not at all "suggest" to me that they would be OK with the killing of newborns.

To be clear, we're not talking about "post-viability abortions" here. The quote said "a serious (non‐lethal) neonatal condition, administering drugs with the explicit intention to end neonatal life", specifically referring to post-birth / newborn babies.
