Would you send a thank you card to each neighbor even tho they just gave $5 each towards the gift? Some people sent WhatsApp thank you after their gift but my baby is 2 months and I feel dumb sending a text now.

Yes, I would. I sent for the gift, not for the value.

It's not too late for a whatsapp text... but yes, text each neighbor.

If you're still using the gift, you can talk about how much your baby loves it.
If you haven't used it yet, say how much you're looking forward to using it and that you're already 2 months closer.

It's never too late for a thank you.

It was for a gift card. It’s not funny to send a text so late?

WhatsApp is totally fine, IMO.
"Thank you so much for the useful gift card. [baby name] is enjoying the [toy, whatever] so much! Can't wait til he/she is old enough for neighborhood play dates!"

I have a question in this topic too. I had a list of ppl who gifted presents when baby was born. List got list and I had to recreate and got around to sending only half the cards out (lots of writing!)
I feel odd sending the remainder when she is almost one year old.

Should I or shouldn't I?

I think whatsapp thank you is totally fine for people under 55. Maybe include a picture of the baby using or wearing gift.

Never too late to express your thanks. It doesn’t matter in what form it comes in.

Take a cute picture of your baby, upload it to any photo collage app, write "thank you so much for ur gift, I'm really enjoying it" in a cute font, upload to CVS or Target to print out as 4*6 as one hour prints and mail them out.
I do this by every child.

I was shocked to receive a thank you card when chipping in $3. For many years, the blocked chipped,
,6h, and I only wrote a card to those that sent me supper also or did another chesed for me when giving birth...watching my other kids. I did look for and personally thank as many neighbors as possible though. Would you send a thank you card if someone sent a couple of mini cupcakes for your kiddush or shalom zachor? or add it in if they gave a gift and participated in the simcha too?! forsure thank them! don't think a card is necessary. My opinion though
