The Reasons Why I Stopped Selling Cloth Diapers
If you’re wondering why I haven’t been making cloth diapers for sale anymore, you’re not the only one. I’ve had some wonderful customers contact me asking when I’m going to start making cloth diapers for sale again. To tell you the truth, I’m still trying to decide whether I should go back to diaper making.
Some of you might think that I gave up because I wasn’t successful enough at what I was doing. The truth is, my diaper sales were rising quickly (mostly outside of Etsy) when I decided to take a break. Now I’m trying to decide whether this break should be permanent.
Those of you, who know me in person, know how passionate I am about cloth diapers. I can talk about anything related to cloth diapers for hours. However, the truth is, I prefer to design diapers rather than to make them. I’m always more curious about the design of a diaper than anything else. Maybe it’s the engineer in me that always wants to know how something works.
The second reason for wanting to leave diaper making behind is that I miss the field of technology a bit. I miss some of the challenges I was faced with on a daily basis. I miss working with software.
And finally, the main reason why I do not want to make diapers anymore is that I want to spend more time with my daughter. I already missed a lot of valuable time with her. The past year has gone by in a flash and I find myself wishing I had taken more time to play or relax with her.
So these are the reasons why and I hope you understand…

I ask myself this continuously, is it taking too much time away from my kids. I will again revisit this question within the next month.
I totally get that – I miss my kids so much since going back to work. I do however love love love your diapers and will be searching like crazy for good ones again if I’m ever lucky enough to have another baby.
I was curious too! I always see the diapers in your pictures etc so thought you were selling them. Ever thought about getting someone else to make them?
I understand too with the family/work balance. It is tough, esp working from home too! I hope to find some happy balance between my WAHMama self and the mamma who plays with her kids all day…
