Best nappies for bedtime?

I’m currently using pampers pull ups but they leak through every night. Plus my baby wakes twice a night and takes 1-2 hours to resettle and I’m wondering if nappy discomfort could be contributing so would like to try some other nappies to see? Thanks

5 month old sleeping on his side

My baby just turned 5 months old a couple of days ago and he’s suddenly started to automatically go to his side when I lay him on his back to sleep. Is this normal? I keep putting him back onto his back and I feel like it’s unsafe but not sure?
