I had my baby in June, we split up when I was 8 weeks pregnant. When baby arrived he would see her 3-4 times for an hour for the first 3 weeks. Then after that it would be 1-2 times as he lost interest, even though I said he could see her any time he wants. He then started demanding to have her on his own at not even 3 months old and overnights which I said absolutely not as he does not see her enough. After that he has been good and seeing her 2-4 times a week again and he has had her on his own with his new girlfriend for the first time this week. (Not overnight for a long time) My advice is to just make him aware that when he visits the baby, it is about consistency if he wants to them to be familiar with him, not the amount of time he sees them for. 20-30 minutes 3-5 times a week is better than 1-2 hours 1-2 times a week. And to also let him make an effort, not you as that is not your responsibility as long as you offer him access to see them as much as possible.

Feel free to message me, I’ve been through it and struggled a lot after the break up. Trust me will all be worth it x

Thank you so much! So hard as i have a 2 year old also, she sees him 2-3 times a week at the moment, but feel like its going to be hard next year, as he’s made things so bad recently x
