Yes, but take precautions. If dad is mildly ill (e.g., common cold), he can hold the baby but should practice good hygiene: wash hands frequently, wear a mask, and avoid close face-to-face contact. If dad has a more serious or contagious illness, it’s best to minimize interaction to prevent spreading the sickness to the baby.
