[quote=Anonymous]OP - You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and will be a good mom.  I think you've gotten some good advice.  Definitely consult with an attorney before you have any serious discussions with him - given that he seems fairly passive now, you'll probably be able to get an agreement with him that is what you want.  In the meantime, I would continue to encourage him to come by a few times a week to hold the baby, and start to teach him how to take care of her.  (Diapers will need to be changed for at least another 2 years, so there is plenty of time for him to learn and do that!  Same with feeding her.)  Considering his maturity and lack of experience, he's probably not going to bond with the baby very quickly.  It may be that he doesn't become very interested in spending much time with her until she is a few years old.  But you are absolutely right that it is in her best interest to have a father in her life and know that he loves her, even if he only sees her 1x/week and you move on to marry another man who will act as her dad.
