Really need some help

Hi.
My boyfriend has decided he no longer wants to be with me and wants to move out as soon as he can.
We rent a house which is £750 per month and he pays all the bills. I contribute what i can but we have a 5month old daughter
so i spend most of my money on her. He has said he will pay for me and our daughter to stay where we are. He makes alot of money,
over £60,000 per year i think.
I was going to go back to work soon as i am still on maternity leave but now i don't know how i will do it on my own.
I don't know what to do, can i afford to stay in the house we love?
I have never claimed benefit before, all i get is child benefit at the moment and don't know where to start for some help.
I need to know what i will be able to get from benefits, can someone help me please. I am 24 with a 5month old girl.
Thank you
