Urgent : Father of my child advise

So my I broke up with the father of my child last year as he always lied and was never there for appointments or even when I gave birth this year. He was using me for financial gain & sexual gain. I fell pregnant and he agreed to keep the baby. However he is not on the birth certificate as he wasn’t there and he’s happy about this. Fast forward last weekend after my baby was in hospital for breathing, that same day day my baby was discharged he came to visit our baby we had a disagreement all because he wanted to be intimate with me I said no. The next 2 days he didn’t even text to find out if he’s son was doing ok. When he came yesterday I asked him why he didn’t even check on his son he said he was angry with me this didn’t sit well with me. Also I left the room to take a phone call and my baby had a weird cry while the baby was sleeping in his hands … I ran and took my baby off him I wasn’t sure why our baby would cry like that as this never happened. Maybe I’m over thinking but I don’t know to trust him. I don’t know what steps to take… he says he wants to visit our baby 2 times a week instead of 1 which i agreed but my anxiety with him is so high I wish I could just do one day a week. I don’t trust him to leave the room with our baby… I don’t trust him as a whole… what steps do I take to make sure our baby is ok?

With you being worried it sounds like supervised contact is your only option if you still want him to see baby. You don’t necessarily have to do the supervision, you could maybe ask a friend or family member that you trust to sit in so you don’t have to be near him as much xx

If he is not on the birth certificate, he has no rights. You can push back and force him to do as you wish. The only thing is that it's a war path option. As he can push back by getting on the birth certificate, and then there will be a long ish battle for visitation, etc. Fundamentally, if the father is not on the birth certificate, you can legally prohibit all visits.but it's your choice how you wish to proceed

This sounds like domestic abuse. Ring refuge if you need to escape at any point. Please look at the freedom course it will help you spot the signs.
