we are going boating this weekend in my cabin cruiser boat. (which means it has an inside like a camper if you didn't know) well any ways i'm horrible at deciding things and i tend to over pack everything.

It would be all day saturday we would be out and all day sunday returning sunday evening. plus the overnite to think about. I am a better safe then sorry person but i don't want to overpack on diapers and waste space and things and have more stuff to worry about.

i was going to buy an extra pack of diapers (like those smaller 7-10 dollar packs) to take on the boat, because we usually get the giant boxes of diapers. I know it all depends on my child specifically and how much diapers he uses in a day, and i was thinking of taking 20 diapers plus the 4 or so in the diaper bag. Do you think that is enough or too much? is that a good amount, roughly? my son is 9 months.
 
Normally if your going to be somewhere where you cant get out easily and run to the store than its good to overpack. I would personally just pick up one of the smaller bags from the store like you mentioned. Its better to be safe than sorry. But if you really really are cramped on space than figure out how many hours you will be gone for and take 1 diaper for every 2 hours.
 
Ummm... for me, I would take enough for 4 days (how many that would be for your baby). This leaves room for diarrhea (gross, I know), and anything that might make you be out longer than you planned. I know that it's easy to be over prepared, but it would suck to have just enough diapers, and get stuck in traffic behind an accident on the way home and be stuck out for an extra few hours.
 
hello,
i am a 1st time mum, my daughter is 5 mo old... so i know how u feel .
since u are going to be on a boat, i say the diapers are the best thing to pack over more than u need! and i think like u , " better safe than sorry" one time i went shopping and took about 5 diapers with me, just for simple food shopping and guess what i had to buy more diapers at the store! so i say take them!! have fun on ur trip and safe journey!
