After she returned home, Kudi called 999 saying her baby would not wake up.
Little Asiah was rushed to Royal Alexandra Children s Hospital in Brighton but was tragically declared dead on arrival.
A post-mortem exam and subsequent forensic tests found baby Asiah was dehydrated and starved and died from neglect.
Kudi, who wept in the dock at Lewes Crown Court, pleaded guilty to manslaughter between December 4 and 12.
She had been due to stand trial later this year but her plea was accepted by the prosecution.
The mum will be sentenced on May 28 pending a psychology report - but was warned this date could be delayed.
