Are you on birth certificate?
Any previous history or social work involvement?
Hi there
You and more importantly, your child, need regular quality time together...you don't say how old your child is and this will have a bearing on the amount of contact that is reasonable.
Sometimes it's better to let the mother have your address, if it reassures her. As she already has a contact number that should be sufficient.
If you can't reach agreement your first option would be to attempt mediation, if this fails or she refuses to attend. The mediator will sign off the form to enable you to make an application to court for a Child Arrangements Order, which will set dates and times and can include extra time for holidays and special occasions. There's lots of info about this process in the stickys at the top of the legal eagle section which you may fi d helpful.
All the best
