It would be difficult to give a 1 year old steam and plus its a little dangerous, as children can get cranky throw the steamer away and might injure themselves. As for feeding give him warm soups, dal, egg etc, It's a normal tendency for babies to have decreased appetite when they are sick, at this time do not force feed your child as he may vomit. Be patient with him, give him choice of what he wants to eat. If your child skips a meal. Do not stress on it but make the next meal more nutritious by adding butter/ ghee in dal, soup.
