Just a small question about contact. Ex will be coming to my house for visitation with baby. What do you do if baby is asleep upstairs during his contact? Am I expected to wake baby?

I'm no expert on this but surely if ex is coming to see the baby, then the baby should really be awake. Could you schedule nap times so baby is up, or schedule visit times around baby's nap times?

Of course yes he is coming to see the baby and ideally baby would be awake but he works until late so there’s only really an hour he can see baby for and 9 times out of 10 baby is sleeping at this time. So in your opinion I should wake baby?

I certainly wouldn't be waking a sleeping baby. How old is the baby?

No way would I wake a sleeping baby.

Being a parent means rescheduling your life to adapt for the baby. He needs to find himself a suitable time.

Lunch times? early mornings, while you shower & dress? Days off?

If baby is 7 months then no can he come in the morning or weekend.

No way would I wake a baby I assume is down for the night

I'm not sure where you read my opinion is to wake baby, when I actually offered 2 other solutions?

Don’t wake the baby. He can adjust his work to see baby or come on a weekend.
