My daughter is 7 months old and just met her father for the first time last month for one hour (he denied he was the father until a paternity test proved what I knew.) He does not have any court-ordered visitation - but I am willing to give him reasonable time with her. He does not seem to care that he is a stranger and is demanding that he take her all day long this weekend.
She has only seen him one time and she cried when he would hold her. My daughter is also breast-fed. She has never used a bottle, nor has she been away from me for more than a couple hours. I do not think she would do well away form me for an entire day.
I am still offering for him to spend time with her - but I want to be present until I know she knows him and will not feel abandoned, and that he is capable of caring for her. I understand the importance of her having a relationship with her father, but I do not want to leave her with a stranger!
Can I get in trouble for this?
