Infant Visitation Schedule?

[Mess]

Yeah, it's funny how my ex worked shift work after mat leave, 6 months back then, and I managed to care for the baby evenings, weekends and overnights. It's funny how on days when we both had day shift, the neighbour that was babysitting managed to not kill the child. It's funny how my daughter grew up perfectly well adjusted, competes in swimming, goes to gifted school and is gracious and social. It's funny how we split when our youngest was 3, and we immediately went to 50/50. It's funny how competant a parent I am, for a man.

It's funny how much it irks me that someone would recommend locking the father out of childcare in an era when most fathers are participating and sharing in caring for infants. I mean, if a guy is an abusive creep that's one thing, but this cannot be public policy. And no, mother's "rights" don't trump the father. Why should they?

Why doesn't she have to worry about the child's time with Dad? Because it's all about her?

Why only two hours and no more than that? Because it's a great idea to use the child as a weapon?

usually before kids reach age 4, their fathers have access 3-4 days by 2-3 hours, no sleepovers until 6 years old.
good luck with that.

I am sorry, but WTF!!

Why can a child under the age of 6 not have sleepovers the the NCP!! Where did you pull that from, in fact where did any of your post come from? Sorry but I disagree with everything you say

Breast milk can be expressed and saved in the fridge for over-night visits.

Indeed. The mother can visit once a day and drop off the expressed milk.

For 15 minutes max!

If you you aren't breastfeeding I can't understand why he couldn't have overnight access every other weekend. It seem's reasonable. Plus i've learned with court you should pick your battles. It is the right of the child to have access for both parents. Unless you are worried about her safety in his care, there is no reason not to allow it. Maybe to compromise, you could offer 1 overnight a month to start and see how it goes and then increase the time.
