bring a baby gift with you and knock on the door... not every one puts out Signs.. too many babies get kidnapped.

I agree with what the others have said
Just go over there with a gift for the baby -
Maybe even call first & Tell her you have a gift & would like to see the baby -so she could tell you when would be a good time
Or you could call & tell her you want to get the baby a gift but dont know what sex the baby is -so you dont know if you need to get something pink or something blue - that way you will know what the baby is right away -just make sure you still get a gift
You dont have to get the baby anything extravgant
here are some ideas that the baby could use
A package of Onesies (Pack of 3 or more) and a few bibs
A cute little outfit
Some hooded towels & baby washcloths-for bathing
A nice soft baby blanket
A baby Sun Shade for the car
Some Fitted Crib Sheets
A package of Diapers & baby wipes ( every baby needs these)

Assuming you are normally friendly enough with the neighbor It would not be rude to call or walk over, maybe bring a cake or something to bring. Depending on how mom is feeling or if the baby is asleep, they may not invite you in so dont be too upset. If however you are not really friends with these people it may look strange. For example I have a neighbor across the street from me that I dont really talk to and know she is/was pregnant. I was asking my husband today if he as seen them or the baby and there have been no signs of life. Since we are not friends I would feel odd going over there just to satisify my curiousity.

well if you two are friends then i would say make a dish ( something so that later on she won't have to cook a dinner if she doesn't want to cook) and buy a present and go over there. but if you are not exactly friends i would call and ask if it was ok to see the baby.
a bit of advice on a baby present is get a gift cert. because everyone buys cloths, stuff animals & stuff like that, she might like the chance to buy something no one thinks about. maybe she been saving her pennies for a big thing for the baby and couldn't afford it then so the gift cert could go for that.

I have never heard of putting out a sign? If you could explain that--that'd be great! Anyway--just run over with something good to eat and a gift for the baby. If you aren't sure if it is a boy or a girl then get something unisex, pampers, or bathing products. It's great--my son is seven months old and have just run out of bath products--it's a great thing! Make sure you bring something for the mother as well--mom's normally get lost in the mix when their baby comes around. I suggest some cookies or something edible. That's just what I think--best of luck to you!

You should drop by with a card and perhaps a small gift. That way you're welcoming the baby into the neighbourhood. You'll probably even get to see the little one.

Unfortunately for you there is no polite way to 'find out'. Having a new baby is very tiring and it is a very intimate family time. It would be an intrusion to call and ask. You will run into them eventually and find out about this baby. You may want to think about why you need to know so badly.

It isn't rude. Putting out those signs is dangerous now, think of the newborn that was stolen for a week in MO.
It is esp. not rude if your come baring gifts :).

Go to her house with a gift for the baby.

If you are friendly with her take a casserole over for her and her family so no one has to cook, or take a cute little unisex sleeper over if you don't know the sex of the baby.
