Doctor can evaluate: If a parent is not sure when to take a 1 year old to the doctor, she can call the doctor's office. Some doctor's have their patients come in on the first couple of sick days, but it depends on the experience of the parents and on what the child is doing. "Very sleepy", "very fussy", or otherwise acting strangely, especially when the temperature is not very high, means the child can be evaluated.

Go to pediatrician: A one year old with fever, sleepiness and issues with feeding should be seen by a professional. These babies can become quite ill very quickly and better to allow a physician to assess them then doing it yourself and possibly missing something serious. Hope they are better soon.
