A search is under way to find a newborn baby taken from a Queensland hospital and believed to be at significant risk.

Police have issued an appeal to speak to 18-year-old Khloe Bornen who they believe is with the missing baby.

The one-day-old girl was taken from Ipswich Hospital by two women on Monday, Queensland Police said.

The women were seen taking the infant and putting her in a white Suzuki Liana with registration 095HI8.

Investigators do not believe the kidnap was random.

"It wasn't just random strangers who walked into the hospital to take a baby," a Queensland Police spokeswoman told AAP.

Khloe Bornen is described as being of Caucasian appearance, around 165cm tall with brown hair.

An amber alert has been issued.
