Hi...this is not a disease. This is called gastrocolic reflex. In some kids when the food is consumed, the stomach distends and contracts and the same wave form might go through down the intestine till rectum and push out whatever is there in the rectum.
A 20 month old weighing 10 kg I'd not too bad if his activities and development is normal. Please do not worry as this condition will settle by itself as the age processes. No need to use probiotics. They are not going to help and not indicated.
