My baby's 2nd immunization is due soon, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to take her. Is it ok if her father takes her, or do I absolutely have to be there for all of her shots??

Either parent can take her. Make sure he knows the answers to the questions the doc will ask like how much and how often does she eat, poop, sleep.

As long as the father is recognized as being able to care for the baby and make medical decisions. If they've never seen him at the doctor's office, the secretary MIGHT ask for his ID, but really it shouldn't be a problem.

No, anyone can bring your baby to get immunization... a grandparent or the father.. at my doctors office we just have to sign in and say who you are and how they are related to the baby..

The father can take her. I went but I waited outside the door because It was really hard on me. My mom went with me cause my husband was working. Mom held ehr down and I cried as soon as I heard her cry and I was still crying after she stopped.

Yeah the dad can take the baby, he the dad. You aren't the only one who has rights and obligations with your baby.

Either parent/guardian who has legal rights to make medical decisions can take them. It is great to get dad involved!

One parent is enough, I think the second parent is to support the first! If your husband will go alone then I think you are set.

her father can take her, due to mine and my husbands work schedules i never get to take my daughter for shots. if my husband is on second shift he takes her if not my mom takes her.

Dad only is just fine, I can't think of reason why it wouldn't be okay--dad's have just as many rights as moms.

dad can take her, and really he should be doing as much as he can to be involved with all of it. Him going to Dr.s appointments help out alot.
