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!

5 diapers a day doesn't sound sufficient for a month old baby. Most babies at that age should be changing diapers at least every 3h = 8 diapers or more a day. Don't let baby stew in wet diapers for longer than that as its not good for baby's skin. Change more regularly.
