My little one (1 month old) often fuss when I try to change her diaper, be it when she's sleeping, before her feeds or halfway through her feeds. She usually falls asleep after her feeds. If her diaper is only slightly wet, can I wait for a few more hours before I change her? Or can I apply thicker bottom balm so as to prevent diaper rash from forming during to the irregular change of diapers? Because of her fussiness, I can only change a maximum of 5 diapers for her a day. Thanks!

It's always better to keep our babies' bums dry and clean. No matter how fussy they are/how wriggly they can be (my son is like that even as a newborn); always best to change their diapers every 2-3 hours or when its already wet or slightly wet :)
