Question Excessive biting/mouthing

Hi this is my first post so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area etc. My baby boy Jax is just 3 months old and of course he is teething & chewing on everything he can. He has many appropriate toys to chew and he seems to love them all. The problem is, I can't even touch him without him trying to bite my hands. Which means everything I need to do for him is a fight. I can't brush him without him trying to bite the brush although this is a tiny bit better now. Washing his face is out, petting nope. I'm sure he will out grow this & I always tell him "no bite" in a firm voice and praise him when he stops. I also do time out when he refuses to stop to show that if he bites he gets no attention but this doesn't seem to bother him, he just starts chewing something else. It's becoming very frustrating as well as sad as I can't love on him like I want to. I have been able to teach him not to bite hard, his bite inhibition is good. I'm thinking this may be because he left the litter too early, he was 6 weeks old when I got him, which I thought was too young. Anyone have any suggestions to teach my little guy that biting hands is a big no no!
