From a doctor with the American Kennel Club:
"This behavior should not be allowed for health and safety reasons.
A dog’s mouth carries a lot of germs, which can easily be passed to people.
This is especially true for babies and immune suppressed adults. Both are at an increased risk of contracting infections and parasites from dogs. So, even though it may look cute, a dog licking a baby’s face should not be allowed. In fact, I don’t recommend it even for healthy adults."
To be fair, babies are germy little squirts, too. So maybe it all cancels out.
