Hi,
Firstly Robitussin does not have any correlation with your son's Diarrhoea
In babies who are started on weaning do often have different types of stools depending on what they eat because it comes out partially undigested .
However if there are very watery and multiple with mucus and blood then you might need to get him examined by his doctor.At present keep him hydrated and continue with Yogurt which is a good Probiotic.
