Probably not: If it was a regular hand or body soap, there should be no problem. She may vomit, but it isn't dangerous. If it was a stronger cleaning product, it depends. Call Poison Control and give them the information from the product container. In the UK, the National Poisons Information number is In England and Wales: NHS 111 - dial 111 In Scotland: NHS 24 - dial 111 In Republic of Ireland: 01 809 2166

Soapy Water: What type of soap did she drink? Babies are notorious for drinking bath water, perhaps the soapy water just irritated her throat. Give her a warm drink and see if it reolves. If not then you can take her to her doctor.
