Partner doesn't back me up

So not sure where to start. My partner is an amazing parent, and I know want the best for our child. However he doesn't seem to back me up when it comes to healthy eating, discipline, or getting a good routine established. I had my daughter in a fairly decent routine when I was on maternity leave and she had a fairly balanced diet the odd bad thing but overall i was on top of it.
Since he has swapped jobs and I'm back to work he has her 2 Mornings a week on his own where he feeds her ridiculous amounts of sugar, doesn't bother trying to get her to nap jf it's a bit challenging he gives up. Seems to be a common theme if she protests or cries he feels sorry for her and doesn't bother to persist with what ever it is. If I try and reinforce what ever it is we are doing he makes me feel like I'm the fun police for example getting her to sleep she's co sleeping as I'm too exhausted to deal with her protesting in the cot then him come along and undo my hard work. I put her to bed at 7 in the evening and if she capers I lie her down repeatedly but hell then come through and let her bounce about and take over. I'm at the end of my tether tbh any advice sorry for the rant.
