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?

1Was normal for our daughters. – A E Oct 13 '15 at 18:19
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? – user11394 Sep 11 '15 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. – David Boshton Sep 11 '15 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. – martin Sep 11 '15 at 10:48
