Beige and light brown tinted poop is very common, especially in babies transitioning to solid foods, and is generally considered normal. If your baby is well-fed, happy, and the poop consistency is soft/normal, this color is not concerning.
But I want to make sure you know this important warning: light beige, clay-colored (putty-colored), or white poop can indicate a blockage from the pancreas to the bile duct or a liver function problem. This color can also become grayish or chalky after sitting in the diaper for a while. If poop is clearly clay/white colored rather than beige and this has happened several times, see your pediatrician.
In short, the "beige-light brown" you're describing is usually in the normal range. When in doubt, taking a photo and showing it to your doctor is safest.
