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.

I only change if the poop is a lot. if it's just a stain or 50cents coin kinda poop, i will leave it. sometimes i'm too exhausted & let baby sleep in poop a few times. and also cos if change after feeding, baby tend to vomit & need change clothes as well. sometimes after changing to fresh clothes & diaper, baby poop & vomitted again. i get depressed over this changing of clothes & diapers till i cried, so i told myself to close 1 eye if poop or vomit is just abit & let baby & myself to sleep since the next wake time is just a few hours away. but everytime i change diaper i put nappy cream.

I burp the baby after feed, carry the baby in a caregiver's arm with the head slightly higher than the tummy so that the feed can flow down more easily instead of lying flat on the bed, where the food might travel back up. Also, I inclined the baby bed slightly to assist the flow of food to the tummy too
