Nicole Frances Bryan, 23, of Dawesville, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her 15-month-old daughter Chenelle in March last year.
The WA Supreme Court was told today that Bryan, who had been a victim of serious domestic violence, had intended to scare her partner with a long-bladed kitchen knife, but when she attacked him she stabbed her daughter who was in his arms.

Justice Stephen Hall told Bryan: "This is something that you will live with forever'’.
He said her daughter's death was "an insurmountable tragedy’’.
He imposed a two-year jail sentence, which he suspended for two years, given credit for her guilty plea and the 10 months she had already served in custody.
