Probably, but it depends on the law of the state where you live. Since this is a corner of the site devoted to Wisconsin, I will assume you live here. If there is no divorce or paternity action pending, and no earlier court order affecting where the child lives, you can move with the child out of state. You must notify the father of the child's whereabouts. Of course, it's best to work out any dispute about this matter rather than present the father with a fait accompli. Consult an experienced family law attorney: it's almost always worth the investment.
