The Mompreneur: Tereson Dupuy of FuzziBunz Cloth Diapers

The Birth Story: Frustrated by her son’s constant diaper rash, Dupuy began sewing her own cloth diapers and found they cleared up the rash -- and stopped leaks, too. This inspired her to launch FuzziBunz pocket-style cloth diapers in 1999. (Bye-bye pins and waterproof pants!) Today, the mom of three is the founder and CEO of Mother of Eden LLC, which manufactures the colorful FuzziBunz and other earth-friendly baby products.
