Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM,
Oil massage does not have any benefit except the child may develop some allergy to the oil.
This ritual is very frequently practisId in India. sun exposure to the skin do have benefits like vitamin D production. Which is beneficial for the health of the baby.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
