The translation is actually correct here. Her name does not mean "sleeping child". Otherwise, it would have been something like this in Japanese : 寝豆子 (or however way possible to include the 寝 which means "sleep")

Nezuko's name is spelt :禰豆子 and the 禰豆 stands for a traditional Japanese flower. So in fact, rather than naming her with the word "sleep", it makes more sense to have her name relate to something like  a flower.
