It’s not a recent thing, he’s always had them but I’m not sure what they are - is it sweat?

Could it be toothpaste?

Aquafresh · 19/12/2023 14:02

no I don’t think so as he’s never got lots of toothpaste on his mouth or anything before bed.

Toothpaste or Sudocrem?

MickeyMouseEars · 19/12/2023 14:03

snot/boogers?

CagneyAndLazy · 19/12/2023 14:03

Snot, wiped off a runny nose by little fingers.

PostItInABook · 19/12/2023 14:04

Dried drool or remnants of washing powder / detergent.

Garman · 19/12/2023 14:04

Snot 🤢

VeganNugsNotDrugs · 19/12/2023 14:05

Dried drool. My 5 year old is the same

Cas112 · 19/12/2023 14:07

Probably toothpaste

TheYearOfSmallThings · 19/12/2023 14:08

Snot I'm afraid.

InefficientProcess · 19/12/2023 14:09

dried dribble and snot.

lovely.

InefficientProcess · 19/12/2023 14:10

You wouldn’t notice it if you had light coloured sheets.

BertieBotts · 19/12/2023 14:13

I think it's drool, both my younger kids get this. It's because they don't stay on the pillow. A good reminder of why we wash pillowcases!!

Chimmo · 19/12/2023 14:17

Snot and drool!

Thursa · 19/12/2023 14:18

Snot and drool

Hankunamatata · 19/12/2023 14:19

Snot and drool.

AWellReadWoman · 19/12/2023 14:20

Dried dribble!

TheCompactPussycat · 19/12/2023 14:36

Dried toothpasty dribble

EnjoyTheMushrooms · 19/12/2023 14:44

It’s snot/drool. My 4yo currently has some on her pillow. Lovely!

NuffSaidSam · 19/12/2023 14:48

Could be sweat.

Or dried snot/drool.

Or mix of all three.

Aren't kids delightful? 🤮

BingoMarieHeeler · 19/12/2023 14:52

Why do you need to know? 😄 just wash em! My kids sheets have the same.

housethatbuiltme · 19/12/2023 15:20

drool is my first thought... DH pillow looks like that from drool.

HectorGloop · 19/12/2023 15:51

I'd agree with everyone else, snot/drool.

My DS is incredibly sweaty at night and the marks left by the sweat are bigger, like a tide line.
