[US] Question about supervised visitation

I have a 7 month old who has never been away from me for more than 3 hours. His dad has visitation rights 3 days a week. We have joint custody with me having the final say. All visits are to be supervised by me until done breastfeeding. (His dad hasn’t necessarily done anything wrong, just has no clue how to care for him). His dad recently got married to a woman he met when I was around 7 months pregnant. She has never met our child. He is now saying that he wants her to come to every visit with him or he will take us back to court to get unsupervised visitation. Does he have a chance to get what he’s wanting if he rarely shows up for his scheduled visits, doesn’t know how to interact with our child, has explicitly said his wife comes before our child, and has no bond with our child? My attorney seems to think that since he makes such little effort to bond with our kid, he’s not going to get much out of taking us back to court. I don’t know what to expect or do. Our child is so uncomfortable with him and I hate to think the courts will just send him with his Dad. I have offered to take him to their house for a visit once a week but he says she has to be present for every visit now. He also made a comment about how he is uncomfortable with me breastfeeding around him????? I just want to know what I should expect/do in this situation.
