Ryan MacIver, 26, lashed out at the eight-month-old boy at his flat in Glasgow's Oatlands on 13 February, 2022.
A law student caught repeatedly slapping a baby "beetroot red" on a video monitor walked free from court.
MacIver - a first offender - was convicted at Glasgow Sheriff Court of assaulting the baby to his injury. Sheriff Kevin McCarron ordered MacIver to be of good behaviour until August next year. She told the court: "Something inside told me something wasn't right. I chanced my luck and looked at the camera."
"It was 20 seconds later that he slapped him on the face." The witness stated that the strike was to the boy's left cheek. The witness said: "The baby was still in his arms and his face was beetroot red. I have never seen the baby like that at all - he looked like he had been crying for a long period of time."
