Contact for DD

So just trying to gauge a good amount of contact for my 7 month old DD. She is BF, doesn’t take bottle, but on solids (doing very well). We also live a 90 minute drive from my ex.

I want to suggest him coming over to do DDs bedtime routine a couple of weekdays, although he is unlikely to accept because of work but still thought it would be nice if he could get the time. Also to see her every Saturday on a one weekend he comes to us and the other I’ll take DD to him. All unsupervised! Then as DD gets older and weaned move to a overnight stay EOW but still with the weeknight put her to bed (I would offer a weeknight stay but again with his work it may prove problematic) and then if he wants to see her on the weekends in between those stays he can feel free to just to let me know in case I have plans.

Does this all sound relatively fair or should I be increasing, decreasing or been more rigid with the logistics?

I think the week night visits will be to much for a 3 hour all round trip but the weekend visit buildups sound like a good plan.

Sounds sensible, I think working towards EOW long term is good since that would probably be fairest for you both to get weekend time with her once she starts nursery/ school. I know that seems a long way off right now but it will save you having to change an established contact plan later.
