Hi I did understand your concern. Fecal matter coming from belly button is due to meckels fistula that represents an congenital anomaly that attaches intestine to belly button. You can consult any pediatric surgeon and an elective operation can be done in some time. meanwhile please keep the area clean around his belly button so he has no infection.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Wish you healthy and happy life ahead.
