Steam inhalation is not recommended as it can cause bones, it is far better to use humidifier which is now available at good pharmacy shops or online at various E-Commerce sites.
Health Tips
you can put some hot shower on and then after shutting off get the child in the steam filled bathroom if you still want to give steam.
