I think it is a judgement call on your part. Sure we can all tell you what is the norm, but only you know your father. Only you know if he is capable of putting the extra time into a younger baby. In my opinion, I would check with the airline to find out the minimum age it has to be to fly, and then if you are comfortable letting it go to him before 12 weeks old, let it go! It's not like this is some stranger that you just met, this is your father..you've seen his home, you know how attentive he is to his pets. |
