Babies drool in an uncontrolled way after they are a few months old. My friend put her son on her clothes and in a little time, his drool* was all over her clothes.
* Does it sound natural to use 'drool' here? How about 'spit', 'saliva', or are there other words I can use? How would you write this.
Thank you very much. :)

I would say "saliva" myself. While "drool" is the result of "drooling" in the same way that "spit" is the result of "spitting", "drool" as a noun, rather than a verb, is not very commonly used. (As a verb it is commonly used.)
Babies don't really spit, because it is a learned action that they are too young for.
And changing the second "drool" to "saliva" is more elegant writing in that you use a different word.
This is a bit of an unpleasant subject, but I hope that helps.

Do you mean that your friend held her son against her clothes or that your friend picked her son up? Something like that?

Drool is a perfect word there 😊

Drool works well both times in that sentence
