Switching to pull ups?

Little one is almost 8 months and I feel like I’m wrestling him every time I have to change him. We use kit and kin nappies and they do pull up nappies in his size so I’m wondering if I need to change to make my life easier? Any suggestions?

Potty training

Anyone started yet? My baby boy is showing interest ( I think). He’s about to be 17 months. He started to say “ diaper” when he poops since he wants to be changed immediately. Also, he now doesn’t like the feeling of a full diaper- so he points and says diaper which cues me to change him.
