Hi.... by what you say I feel that your child is having worm infestation. This is a very common symptom in such cases, along with passing of stool soon after feeding and grinding of teeth in the night.
I suggest you give him Albendazole in two divided doses 10 days apart at 200 mg per dose. If this is a prescription medicine in your country I suggest you consult physician for the same.
