Let down again, so disappointed

Dp n me have a young baby, 7mths old. I've just gone back to work.
Dp when I got pregnant promised as he has low income from self employment etc that he would have baby mon- wed, while I worked then I'd have baby Thursday to Sunday while he worked. I will be doing compressed hours so long days but I earn the most so we need the income.
He started worrying about managing a few months ago so I've sorted a childminder for mondays for baby to take pressure off.
He's not even had baby for a single day yet and is fussing and saying he can't cope etc.
I'm angry as childcare for extra days would be another 400 quid a month which we can't afford. He wants me to contribute to it and I've flat refused, one no one I trust to ahve baby is available on those days, he promised to have the baby and it's what we agreed.
I feel really let down by him tbh but I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable. I'll be working essentially full time and having baby four days a week anyway, plus covering most household bills and I just can't do this as well.

Sorry just re read - extra childcare is for Tuesday and we'd each week which is 400 pcm ontop of what we already pay for childcare on a Monday.
