Although there is laws and customs surrounding the birth of a boy in Judaism, the birth of the girl has been kept quiet.  However, there has been a custom arising in many Jewish communities to have a ceremony for the new born girls as well.  The customs may vary, but parents will take their new born daughter to temple between two to weeks to a month after birth and announce the daughter's name to the community.  This has become a joyous occasion, and if the family did not have a baby shower, there are likely to be a lot of gifts provided to the parents and baby.
