The data analysis used was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov. The result showed that there was a relationship between the use of unsterilised milk bottles and the incidence of acute diarrhea in toddlers with p = 0.002 < 0.05, there was a relationship between handwashing habits and the incidenceof acute diarrhea in toddlers with p = 0.001 < 0.05 and there is a relationship between clean water sources with the incidence of acute diarrhea in toddlers with p = 0,026 < 0.05.
