Hi Jack! I definately think you should change the diaper, to avoid the risk of severe diaper rash and other problems. But if your daughter just fell asleep, whe might be sleeping really hard, and if you're lucky maybe you can change the diaper without waking her up. Have you tried that? To make her stop pooping after going to sleep, consider giving her her last feeding earlier and maybe she'll get her pooping done before falling asleep. Hope this helps! /Paula

Hello Jack, Some babies don't mind being woke up to have a diaper change, but some really do. If she doesn't mind it's probably best to change her to avoid rashes etc. But if you find she has a really hard time going back to sleep, with a lot of crying and fussing you might try coating her bottom with desitin or another thick diaper rash cream and just waiting till morning. Changing the contents of her meals might help a bit too. Try yogurt or fruit earlier in the day to facilitate a bowel movement. Hope this helps. :)

I have a 1 year old and we change him right before he goes to bed and again if he wakes up in the middle of the night (which he doesn't much anymore) and if not then, first thing in the morning. We want him to be able to soothe himself back to sleep so we do not disturb him just to change his diaper and we haven;t had any problems with diaper rash from doing so.
