This is probably obvious, but i am clueless

My 1 year old been a bit unsettled this week (jabs, busy days ect) is obviously knackered. She fallen asleep right on dinner its 5:15.

What do i do? Carry on cooking and wake her up? But she will probably refuse it and just scream.

Skip dinner and give her milk if she wakes up at all?

Or have dinner and do bedtime routine late at night?

I'd do the last option but tbh they're all equally shit!

Put her to bed, let her sleep. My toddler often skips dinner when too tired. Give milk when she wakes.
don’t wake for dinner.

I'd just let her sleep. she can have a snack if she wakes up later, but she might sleep through.

Thank you so much @WhatWouldYouDo33 and @thaegumathteth

Being a first time mum, i just get completely thrown by random situations 😂 and feel clueless what your meant to do x

Edit @Iwantamarshmallowman thank you, yes i feel she might, her sleep has been all over the place the past few days and i do feel she really needs a good rest to reset x

Unless it was happening daily I treat falling asleep unexpectedly at 5pm as baby needs the sleep.

Once my daughter was 2-3years and dropping a nap I would give her 20-30 minutes if sleeping after 4pm and would gentle try to wake her. So pop my hand on her back and quietly call her name and give her a slight giggle. If she started to rouse I would do it again if she batted me away or rolled over I would leave her be. If she fell asleep in the car I would give her 10 minutes and then bring her in the house. If it's just sleep from the motion she would wake up. If I'll she would go back to sleep on the sofa. When ever she has a late afternoon sleep she needs to be left a bit longer to fully wake up and is a bit groggy and bad tempered for 10 minutes or so as she comes back to the land of the living

I have had a cold all week and had to take Thursday afternoon off work to have a nap. Sometimes it helps to think "if I did this what would I say to myself". On Thursday as I was struggling through the morning I said to myself I would feel much better if I just had a sleep so that's what I did and what I would offer my daughter
