My 10 month old boy licks my face,especially my nose when i bring him close to my face.
He does this only to me. But i am concerned. i tried to distract him when he licks but he thinks of it as fun and repeatedly does that.Is this normal?

Genuinely, not an issue. Don't worry. He's having fun, he probably thinks that it's kissing or something. It's very normal for children to be more physically affectionate with their mother.

It sounds to me like a way to get a reaction out of her, not to show affection. Do you have any references to show this is normal behavior?– user11394Sep 11, 2015 at 1:24

No, because searching is hard for that ;-). You're right, the comment is mostly anecdotal; I know many parents and children's workers and they say that at that age it's very normal for such things. And you're right, if there's a reaction that will certainly exacerbate the behaviour. Sep 11, 2015 at 8:40

I can only second that. I always liked that, when my daughter did that, I thought it was fun, too. She is now a year old and does not do it any more.– martinSep 11, 2015 at 10:48
