What Can Cause Light Colored,loose And Foul Smelling Stools?

Hi there, my 1 year old daughter has had very light coloured, loose and foul smelling stools over the last two days, she has a slight cough and cold but otherwise well, she recently started on cows milk instead of formula, is this something to worry about, what could be causing this?
