James Howson, 25, was told he must serve at least 22 years.
He had been found guilty of murdering his daughter Amy earlier this week after a trial at Leeds Crown Court.
Amy's mother, Tina Hunt, 26, was given a 12-month suspended sentence for allowing the death of a child and child cruelty. She admitted the charges.
Sentencing Howson, the judge, Mrs Justice Cox, recounted how the defendant placed his daughter over his knee or other object and broke her back at their home while he was looking after her.
He then sat with her body until the morning.
The judge said: "This was, in my view, a chilling and brutal attack. The bone was completely dislocated, resulting in spinal shock, rapid unconsciousness - mercifully - and to death."

That gives a really distrubing visual image, I can just see i baby being bent backwards over the fathers knee. I think it might be worth taking what visual images we get from these stories and putting them together. could create a montage of some sort for something...everyones idea of paradise is different right? things are said in jest for example "I wish that all little children and screaming babies would just go away and burn!" poor example I know but I am sure you know what I mean
