Sounds horrible but remind yourself your child will grow up and if in a hostile situation that will occur quicker. She will enter the teen years and start to question and try to establish her own free thought. Try to show her that you are thinking medium long term and not interested in involving her.
Recording children is always frowned upon, and let the mother throw all the mud they want, worst they can do other than stop contact is take maintenance and there are limits to that. Where emotional pressure is being applied the child will eventually rebel.
If you make records keep them for when the child comes and asks when they are an adult - this becomes far more important.
Maintain contact but don't overwhelm - maybe message 3 times a week, call once, maybe an email every couple of weeks.
