Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

The link below should help with stopping the nipping:

Welcome . Unfortunately, stopping the biting isn't a quick thing, it takes quite a while, but with consistent training, it will get better and eventually stop. The link that's been posted has good information, so I wont say anything more than that, but good luck

good luck with it all, my pups 15 weeks and still doing it. It does get better and he is only ickle

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. The link Kathy provided has excellent advise.

OMG why on earth did you get him so young? Not even 6 weeks old!

The trouble is, he's missed out on a lot of bite inhibition which would have been taught to him by his litter mates.

What are you feeding him & when? What exactly do you do when he gets hyper & starts to nip?

He was 6 week when we got him. thats when the owners said they can go we didnt know any different. thy have 5 staffys thereself and had loads of litters before so didnt think anything. he has 3 meals a day 6wk+ puppy food. When e nips i just yelp say no nd move him to his toy. but i am literally doin it allday thats all he does

You're doing the right thing on how to handle the biting, just that you have to keep doing it. They usually learn that from their mum and siblings, so it's down to you to teach him that now, and just be consistent and do it every time he bites. Eventually he'll learn, just that it takes a while.

Hes just been bitin me loads and i kept yelping and it was like he was getting angry he was coming for me even more n bitin me even harder

He is trying to get you to play. Just keep doing what you are doing it's simply a phase, a very unpleasant one.

Ok when he bites our clothes do i do same thing

Yes, the most important things are patience and consistancy from everyone in the house. Here is a link that should help as well.
