You could use the double inequality (see here) $$1-\frac 1t \leq \log(t)\leq t-1$$ which makes $$\frac 1{\sqrt{x+1}}\leq \sqrt{\log \left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}\leq \frac 1{\sqrt{x}}$$ So, integrating $$\int_0^y\frac {dx}{\sqrt{x+1}}\leq \int_0^y\sqrt{\log \left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}\,dx\leq \int_0^y\frac {dx}{\sqrt{x}}$$ $$2 \sqrt{y+1}-2\leq \int_0^y\sqrt{\log \left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}\,dx\leq 2 \sqrt{y}$$ I do not see what more could be done (at least by myself).
