I had a miscarriage four years ago, and all I wanted for two years was a baby to replace that hole the miscarraige left. However, when the trauma wore off, I've actually found that I may not want children. I definitely want dogs, though. Now that I have two dogs (Sophie and Sadie May), I found that I love them.
Your neighbor sounds like she went through what I did, and then found refilling that hole with another baby was not actually what she wanted to do. Unfortunately, she's got a committment and a life to take care of. She can't be bouncing in and out of her child's life. She'll regret it, and the child will resent it.
