Please give him probiotics like Enterogermina twice daily.Continue ORS. Watch for signs of dehydration. If signs present/ drowsy/ no urine output, take him to the doctor right away.

ORS, bread toast, diluted curd/ buttermilk, tender coconut water / rice gruel can be given.

Hello
Your son is just 13 months and loose motion that too watery in nature .
Ors is the best remedy but number of loose is more ( 8 times in just 6 hours ), so this may develop dehydration .
In my opinion this is the time to consult a pediatrician and get intravenous Ringer lactate and electrolyte P solution .
This will cover all the lost minerals and liquid due to loose motion .
Bulky diet like bananas , curd , rice will also help with ors.
Levofloxacin+ornidazole syrup also help.
Good luck.
