Newborn contact with dad in lockdown

I'm due in 3 weeks but with complications and beeing monitored regularly I doubt I'll get to full term let alone go over!

I live with my parents, I broke up with the babys dad but we are on good terms. My parents on the other hand HATE him with a passion due to him letting me down so much and annoyed he lost his job due to his laziness of not turning up.

I dont know what to do once baby is here to allow my babys dad to see the baby now lockdown is in place! I very much doubt my parents will let him move in or risk the fine of him coming over as they have been very against him being involved as they don't think he will be reliable or stick around long.

I want to let my baby see his dad as much as possible but i just dont know what to do! Anyone else on here not with the babys father during the first lockdown and what did you do? In no way will my baby be separated from me as I will be breastfeeding, theres no way I would move into his mums with him as we tried that with the first lockdown and I lasted 2 weeks as my mental health went very down hill.

Children under 18 will be able to move between their homes as they have always done. I imagine allowing your babies father into your home to see his child won't bring you any fines either tbh

Hi - children have always been able to move between separate houses of their separated parents, even during the first lockdown. I was up and down on the train constantly during lockdown 1 taking DD (who is 12) to her dads.
