By you allowing her to bite/gnaw on you, you are reinforcing the behavior and I fear that it is going to cause some major issues in the future.
I agree. Dogs don't know the difference between a little bit and harder bites. If you give them permission to chew a little you will then have to retrain that dog not to do it when they start biting harder. Hands and other body parts should be off limits.

Get an all natural chew for the puppy to cut her teeth on. No body parts. Just never leave your pup unattended with a chew product.
