Some mucus in poop for an 18-month-old can happen from time to time and doesn't always mean something serious. A small amount of mucus, especially during teething or mild bowel irritation, can show up.
But if the amount of mucus is significant, there's blood in the poop, or baby has fever, vomiting, restlessness, poor appetite — this could signal an infection (diarrhea) or food intolerance. Especially if mucousy poop has been going on for a few days, getting your child checked by a pediatrician soon is good.
In short: single episode, small amount, baby is fine — generally no need to worry; continuous, heavy, or other signs together — should be checked.
