White poop in babies always deserves attention because it can be a sign of a bile duct problem. If your baby's poop is completely white or very light gray/clay-colored, it might mean there's a blockage in bile flowing from the liver to the intestines.

I'd suggest seeing your pediatrician today. Especially if your baby's pee color is dark (tea-colored) or you're seeing yellowing of the skin or eye whites, emergency evaluation is needed.

Sometimes one light-colored poop can be feeding-related (especially with formula you might see an antacid-like residue), but to be safe and feel settled, your doctor should see it.
