Bug bites? Help

Does anyone have any idea what kind of bug this is? My little one has had some bites over last few days wasn’t sure what was causing it so I checked his bed as a precaution and found this? I can’t see it being bed bugs as we haven’t had anything knew into the home. I have been hanging a lot of washing out with the nicer weather I’m wondering if it’s sneaked in that way? Help I’m freaking out! 🤣

It's not a bed bug, it's a gnat or mosquito type bug.

Definitely not a bed bug though that's not to say that's not what's biting your DC. What do the bites look like (clustered/in a line?). Do they appear daily? Have you travelled lately?

Alternatively, I've brought in the odd flea on washing from the garden before despite not having any pets so thats also a possible culprit.
