1 year old poo concerns

[mzchung]

My DD (1 year old) has been having beige-ish, not-exactly-white colored poops for the last few days. Is this anything to worry about? She hasn't been really eating anything too different lately...any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My best friend is a pediatric gastro and she always told me that if poop is black, red, or white/clay colored call the doctor.

If the poop looks clay colored or chalky, it can be a sign of a liver problem or a metabolic disorder. If the poop is just a lighter brown than usual, it's nothing to worry about.
