He may have what we can gastroesophagea I reflux...just a jargon that says food return from the stomach to the oesophagus after feed instead of staying down. For such babies, you need to keep
them upright for up to 30 minutes or more after each feed. So it stays down. You can keep them in the car seat put in an upright position if you are too tired or busy to carry them that long...others can help too.....sometimes that may not work and some babies need to have their feeds thickened and so on....but we will do that only if it so bad and not allowing baby to gain weight....please see your paediatricians for further management at that point

If he's refusing ORS... Try other home-based fluids like coconut water, rice water even garri water. If not tolerating any of the fluids you have to take him to the hospital for intravenous Rehydration.
Give Oral suspension and Zinc. If stooling persists kindly take the child to the hospital.
Good evening ma, Kindly note that teething does not cause diarrhoea in any way. Teething is a developmental process just like the growth of the entire body, it's not a sickness.
Diarrhoea is having frequent loose watery stools. It occurs when the fluid cannot be absorbed from the contents of an individuals bowel or when extra fluid is secreted into the bowel causing watery stool. Usually, it could be a symptom of bowel infection called Gastroenteritis which can be caused by some harmful microorganisms that may result from food poisoning I.e drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated food.
Zinc and ORT is better for infants but make sure it was recommended by your doctor
I think you should see a doctor asap.
Also, I think this weather is bad and maybe carrying wipes with you in the bag, and make sure to clean your hands before eating.
