Pale coloured stools in 18 month old is not common mam..it might be due to obstruction of bile duct..whether the child has jaundice and high coloured urine? Abdomen distended or not mam?? If the reply to these questions is NO then u can be reassured..but if any of these is present kindly proceed with liver function tests and use abdomen..
