Poop after nappy change - would you change again?

Hey mummies, if in the middle of the night, you fed baby, changed its diaper, and put it to bed and it poops again right after (assuming around 10 minutes after sleeping you heard the sound of poop), would you bring it to change immediately or wait til it wakes up for next feeding (assuming in 3 hours time)? Now let's assume that you bring it to change immediately, and this happens again (poops again after you put it to sleep after 10 mins) would you bring it to change again? Do you have a magic number of times where you would just leave it to sleep with its poop until it wakes again? (For example, keep changing until left 1 hour til next feeding then let baby sleep until next feeding) For the above, assume that you have waited until you *think* baby has done pooping to change diaper, and yet it poops again.

Change, to avoid diaper rash. As many times as it takes, though I know the number can be ridiculous sometimes haha

Oh no lah not 500, just an estimate, i just went through 5 packets of 88 diapers. Cuz at least every 2-3 hours or after every feeding I will change his nappy no matter diaper full or not. Also in the middle of the night i will change before his feeding (so he's comfy to eat) and if he does not poop i would put him to sleep after feeding, but many times he poops so i will change after feeding also. But very very frequently he will poop or pee during changing or right after changing and I will change again. This makes me really stressed sometimes as this surely happens every day. he seems to have a hobby of peeing or pooping whenever i put him on a new diaper. Sometimes i go through 4 nappies in one diaper changing session thanks to this. Like I wait for a while he doesn't poop or pee but the minute I remove the diaper and put him on a new one, holy moly, pee or poop! Quite frequently, even before I tape up the diaper. diaper changes are very stressful battle. Now after 1 month, I cl
