Massage with olive and coconut oil is safe in infants. If you have been doing so since birth. There is no contraindication as such. In summer , make him wear lighter clothes( cotton fabric). Also make sure that the liquid intake is good enough.
Health Tips
1) Use lighter fabric for clothing.2) Plenty of liquid intake.
