my 22 month old has fallen asleep on sofa while i was washing up, when i picked her up to move her to bed i noticed she had beads of sweat on nose and forehead, i took her temp it is 36c (lowest my little forehead thermometer does).

yep my ds also gets v sweaty when sleeping

I would think that the low temp is because the sweat is cooling her forehead down. Can you try to use a proper thermometer (if you're concerned)?

My DCs sometimes get sweaty while sleeping.

Maybe it's just lack of air getting around - breathing into the sofa abit and it's condensation/sweat?
