Hi...loose motion can be a known complication with bottle feed if the bottle is not sterilized properly before each feed .Also if formula feed is given in improper dilution it can lead to loose motion. So I advise you to check this two things first. Also loose motion and cold both may occur in viral illness which can be self limiting. I would like to advise you to maintain the fluid intake of the baby by supplementing with ORS and keep watch on the urine output.
