In terms of US usage, this would not be natural. Two types of individuals wear diapers in the US: infants and incontinent adults. If this is an infant, it wouldn't be able to understand the given sentence.

Hi
That's totally OK. If you are changing your baby before you feed him or her, you might say:
- Wouldn't you like to eat in a clean diaper?
Come to think of it, you could say the same with an adult that you were close to. I'm really not sure what the previous anon is saying
