Do you think a 2 week old baby is okay to be left alone with father for a weekend?
Me and my mum are having a debate!
She thinks this is "ridiculous" as a baby should NOT be away from its mother when it is this young.. but, I think, if the baby is with their father (who is just as much a parent as the mother!) then what is the problem? (providing he is trustworthy, normal etc!)

nothing wrong with it. if the mother is breastfeeding she can express her milk, or if formula then dad can feed him. Babies need to get used of the fact mum won't be there 24/7 and has other commitments and would also be a nice time for baby to bond with dad 
Alone? But daddys there...

Some mothers can be worse than the fathers!
milk is the only issue, and that's not impossible.
I would sincerely hope that a baby could be left with it's father.

Erm...yes. The baby has **** eyesight anyway, probably doesn't know the difference. If the guy has manboobs, even better. (y)
I don't think there's anything whatsoever wrong in leaving a two-week-old baby with it's father for a couple of days, but of course the baby knows the difference; one of the first things babies learn to recognise is their mother by her scent and sound.

As a doctor I would be concerned about the post natal health of this mother.
2 Weeks post birth she should still be all but clutching her baby and snarling at strangers from uber new mother hormones/instincts.
To be parted and left in someone elses care - even the father, for more than a few hours indicates poor bonding (possible early sign of post natal depression
I think the baby will be fine...
It could be a psychology urge not to leave the baby if you're a mother.
But yes, the father should be trusted.

Dunno if I would feel any different as a mother but I would be more than happy to leave our child with my boyfriend. I'm sure he'd be great dad. Unless he has shown irresponsibility or untrustworthiness regarding the child I don't see why it should be problem.
