Minoxidil usage around children, pillows

I've stopped taking finasteride due to me and my wife trying for a baby. I have been using minoxidil foam for the past few months but am worried about the effect that it could be having on my 3 year old son.

I apply it at night so I'm sure some will be going onto my pillow. My son will usually wake up in the middle of the night and then sleep with us, often putting his head on my pillow, sometimes pressing his head right next to mine.
I'm worried about the harm this could be causing him through absorption through his forehead. Not to mention minoxidil stings if it gets into your eyes. I'd rather go bald than any harm come to him.

Does anyone else have experience about this or any advice?
