the biting = cleaning. That's what the cat parents do to clean the kittens. No need to stop the big cat, just observe.
You should see that it consists of several licks then two to three bites then back to licking again.
let the big cat discipline the kitten, that's how they establish their status in the family. Do not interfere unless the big cat is attacking the kitten. I know it's sometimes hard to tell "playing or fighting" apart. But you have to learn by experience :)

My three year old girl has never been a mom too, but she is always cleaning the kitten like a mom!! The funny thing is, the younger one treats her like she is his mom as well :D
When we tell him off, he is not afraid. But he is afraid when she tells him off !!!!
The older ones usually take care of the young ones, even male older cat will take care of younger cats. We had a 15 year old male cat when we got the female cat (about 3 months old), he took care of her. After he passed away, we got the little one and she takes care of him
