Where I’m from, most things blow up eventually. So I learned that when something dope comes along, you gotta lock it down! If you’re always frozen in fear and taking too long to figure out what to do, you’ll miss your opportunity, and maybe get sucked into the propeller of a swamp boat.

So do you think the Mandalorian could take off his helmet in front of his son? Like if they’re alone in the ship together now that The Child is officially his kid can he take the helmet off?

As an Offical Star Wars Nerd ™ I can answer this with a definitive yes.

The closest of family, AKA a spouse or child, is allowed to see a Mandalorian’s face. This includes foundlings they’ve adopted, and therefore yes, it would be acceptable for Din to take his helmet off in front of his new small green son.

Plot twist: as soon as he does, Baby Yoda starts making the most alarming noises and Din is panicking because he has no idea what’s wrong, until he realises that the little baby doesn’t recognise him without the helmet and is freaking out because OMG DAD TOOK HIS FACE OFF. It takes quite a few tries of taking off and putting it back on to reassure Baby Yoda that it’s okay and Dad is still Dad with pink face or shiny face, and start patting the visor curiously with small hands.

A couple of days later Din spots him trying to put an old metal canister on his head and having trouble with his ears.
