Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and  if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion  it may be a part of allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination.
steam inhalation will be beneficial in both the cases along with decongestant medicine like alex cold/ hatric 3/ sinarest.
As a part of viral illness there could be associatedd symptoms like cough and fever which needs treatment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs tco be maintained .

Bottle Feeding is just fine no issues at all it has got no connection with your child having cold it is just the weather that’s changing or maybe your child is allergic to change of weather or something which is why your child is having food go for an antiallergic medicine for the timing
