She's probably just playing, its very difficult to train a cat to stop doing something. Is she loving also? As long as she welcomes a cuddle as well as the biting, I'd think she'll be ok.

Not sure what you mean by "should i give her into trouble ".
She is play biting. Kittens do this. Give her plenty of toys to play bite with. She will stop as she gets older. Have you got just the one kitten? Kittens are best kept in pairs.

When she gets too rough and bites, stay NO! stop playing with her and walk off. She'll soon start to realise that you don't like it.
Don't shout at her because cats are perculiarly sensitively to what they perceive as aggression.
As a bonus, most kittens grow out of their crazy attacking behaviour and transform into the sleepy creatures we all recognise as cats around 1.5 - 2 years. Until then, wear jeans when shes having a mad moment!

cats bite in play and in fights, and they also bite to express love.
Cats have a thing they do called a "love bite". I had a cat a few years ago that would come up to me before I'd fall asleep and she'd purr real loud and come up to my face and bite me on my eyebrow and hold it for a few seconds. Purring loudly all the time....
She never tried to break skin. It would have been a terrible thing for me to freak out on her and get mad. She was just expressing her love.

She is just playing, but needs to know that biting isn't acceptable or she will do it when she grows up. Keep a squirt bottle nearby to give her a squirt when she does or a good firm "NO" in a loud voice.

When your kitten bites spray her with some water she will soon stop

Some cats do that as a sign of rough affection. They should know when to stop short of breaking the skin. If she's only playing she'll be careful - I'd try to train it out of her though, because if she takes a shine to a visitor in the future, you don't want her accidentally sinking her teeth into them!

You should be teaching it now not to bite. When it happens, say "no" in a stern but NOT loud voice and then blow in its face. They don't like that. Do it often enough and it will learn.

She is playing but the earlier to start to train her the better.
