Abstract: Diaper is an option
for most mothers because they are practical for the parents and make babies
sleep better. Children who wear diapers often show late toileting development
since they cannot feel a sense of damp when urinating. This study aimed to know

Early Childhood Education Programs (PAUD) and Kindergarten at Mersi village,
Purwokerto. This was a non-experimental quantitative study with cross-sectional
study design. The population was 217 children with history of diaper usage. The
samples were 68 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The data was
analyzed using Chi Square. This research has already been conducted in 2013.
The results showed that 85.4% respondents wore diapers, whereas 14.6% did not.
12.5% respondents had good toilet training behavior, 78% had sufficient
behavior 78%, and 9.5% were lacking. There was a significant difference between
history of diapers usage and toilet training behavior among pre-school children
in Early Childhood Education Programs (PAUD) and Kindergarten at Mersi village
(p=0,04). It can be concluded that there was a significant difference between
the usage of baby diapers and toilet training behaviors in pre-school children.
