A defecation detection device (2) for detecting and notifying defecation in a diaper (7) that has an inner surface (71) and an outer surface (72), that is formed with a through hole (73) through the inner surface (71) and the outer surface (72), said defecation detection device being adapted to communicate with a receiver (4) and characterized by: a positioning member (3) being adapted to be removably mounted to the diaper (7) and extend through the through hole (73) of the diaper (7); a mounting seat (21) having a mounting surface (211), and being mounted on said positioning member (3) in a manner that said mounting seat (21) is disposed inside the diaper (7) when said positioning member (3) is mounted to the diaper (7); a resilient member (22) having a fixed end (221) that is connected to said mounting seat (21), and a free end (222) that is opposite to said fixed end (221) and that is spaced apart from said mounting seat (21); a first conductive sheet (51) disposed on said free end (222) of said resilient member (22) and facing said mounting seat (21); a second conductive sheet (52) disposed on said mounting surface (211) of said mounting seat (21), and spaced apart from said first conductive sheet (51); a transmitter module (6) removably mounted on said positioning member (3) in a manner that said transmitter module (6) is disposed outside the diaper (7) when said positioning member (3) is mounted on the diaper (7), and configured to wirelessly communicate with the receiver (4); a first electric wire (53) being adapted to extend through the through hole (73) of the diaper (7), and having one end that is electrically connected to said first conductive sheet (51), and the other end that is electrically connected to said transmitter module (6) in a removable connection; a second electric wire (54) being adapted to extend through the through hole (73) of the diaper (7), and having one end that is electrically connected to said second conductive sheet (52) and the other end that is electrically connected to said transmitter module (6) in a removable connection; and a protection member (1) removably covering at least one side of said resilient member (22) that is opposite to said mounting seat (21), wherein, when said free end (222) of said resilient member (22) is pressed to move toward said mounting seat (21), said first conductive sheet (51) is in contact with said second conductive sheet (52), and said transmitter module (6) is activated to wirelessly transmit a defecation detection signal to the receiver (4) to allow the receiver (4) to output a notification.
