The accused, who has been named as Hannah Turtle, 22, changed her plea halfway through her trial.
She is said to have suffocated her son – seven-week-old James Hughes – in 2016. She is understood to have also stopped his breathing on two other occasions before she killed him; both times he was revived in hospital.
Ms Turtle also admitted five other child cruelty charges and administering James with an adult antidepressant.
Turtle accepted that she stopped her son's breathing on three occasions within a 10-day period. He was taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital and kept in for observations, but the prosecution said he stopped breathing while Turtle was alone with him.
On 9 June 2016, Turtle suffocated her son but this time he did not recover and died in hospital on 13 June from brain damage due to oxygen deprivation.
The court heard while Turtle had no mental illness it had been agreed she suffered from a personality disorder.
The judge said he had to impose a life-sentence for murder but he needed to fix the minimum term she should have to serve.
