Co parenting

I have a 6.ontj old baby and I'm trying so hard to make it work with her dad. She needs to keep to her schedule as much as possible he has an hour with her on friday and that's for 4 weeks after that it will increase to 2 hours for next month.
We had broken up before I knew I was pregnant he's seen her once in March as he told me not to contract him as he was taking me to court as he didn't agree on my arrangements but through court I told them same thing and he had to agree to it.
He's currently taking her to surestart sessions which is good for both of them as he learns how to look after her and her needs as he hasn't done any parenting courses and it's first kid
Thing I want to know is am I being too much asking him to keep to her schedule?
He will do next month in the community which he intends to walk around with her in the community which isn't beneficial to them both as she will most likely sleep so I told him about her schedule of her baby sensations and baby messy play sessions she has but he's not going to do it as he will do whatever he likes with her and it's not my concern.
Am I being to much? Am I wrong in wanting her to keep to a schedule?

You're not being unreasonable. If he's not going to be reliable, consistent and happy to work with you then he's not worth bothering about. I imagine you've got enough on your plate without having to chase him up to see that he keeps appointments and does something worthwhile with your daughter? ❤️

@MiraRoss He's never going to learn, then. What support do you have? Parents/siblings/childcare professionals? Do you know other mums to talk to?
