Can i go no contact with ex with baby?

Broke up last year. Its been pretty much hell since then. i want it to work and tried my best but he refuses but just keeps me dangling with hope. He isnt really interested too much in the baby anyway. Pops in once a week to see her for half an hour. My dilemma is should i just stop him seeing the baby to protect myself or do i just have to put up with it? He basically just shows his face, holds the baby briefly, has a little flirt with me and then leaves? He seems to enjoy playing games and hurting me and he gives me big smile when he leaves so it just feels like mental torture and it takes me a few days to stop feeling so angry. Then it starts again when he next shows up. What do i do?

It's unreasonable to go no contact, he's making the effort to see the baby once a week and hopefully when the baby is older he can co parent more regularly.
Accept there isn't going to be relationship between you two and ignore all his flirting, go to another room until he's ready to leave if you have to until he learns to behave appropriately around you.
