I would, as I understand it's a big thing in the life o my hypotetical partner. I also know that I can deal with a baby/kid/toddler, even if I still never experienced being a parent, of course, but I understand they need time and care etc, and I'm quite sure I can provide some kind of it, especially if I'm not alone.
So, what I think is, yeah maybe the guy wasn't interested in having the kid around you, or maybe he was just a uncomfortable cause he's completely unable to deal with a kid, while understanding is such an important commitment. Maybe in his head he was like "I know it's a big task, so I don't want to ditsturb you with my ineptitude in this 'field'." Especially cause he seems into you.
If you think you could share the same interest in him, maybe next time you can try to involve him in doing something (even very small) for your kid, like can you please watch her for 5 minutes while I prepare her bed, her or dinner or something, -while I talk to you-?, Can you help me a bit while waiting for me?
In a similar situation, in his case, I would have feel like the 'third wheel'.
I'm not criticizing your behavior, just suggesting a possibility.
