Most people will wait for an invite. I would never just drop in on people with a newborn.

We are talking about a newborn here. They receive antibodies from the mother just before birth and that's all they got. They have little to no means to fight off anything brought in from outside a mothers germ pool. A newborn cannot build immunity if their bodies are incapable of mounting a defense in the first place.
I'm all for kids getting dirty but let's at least use some caution when dealing with a baby before he or she gets the chance to develop properly.
I would suggest making some meals As well and seeing when you can drop them off. They will most likely want the distraction of a visit and end up inviting you in to at least show off the baby. Preparing meals for new parents is something they will never forget.
