That of a sleepy baby? (5)

I believe the answer is:
nappy
'baby?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nappy that I've seen before include "Baby garment" , "Diaper" , "Baby's garment" , "One pinned on baby" , "Baby wear" .)
