ExpertDr.Rasika ThosarPaediatric Intensivist4 years agoA. you can use any oil which is preferable for you. it should be free of additives and should be pure.
massage mainly increases bonding between you and baby.
gives comfort to baby. soothing, relaxing for both of you.
helps in digestion, induces good sleep.
calcium strengthens bones, not massage.
so its really upto you , your time, baby's enjoyment, weather etc. no rules as such.
oil quantity needed is not much. itshould just get absorbed in skin. do not use excess oil. people put loads of oil on head to make skull stronger. its a myth.
time varies, depends on how long baby likes it.

there are different oil like almond oil, coconut oil, mustard oil , Olive oil etc you can use for Massage
as such there isn't any problem to continue with coconut oil as it is most suitable in all seasons.
but as your child is getting the skin darker because of.it ,you may use almond oil
but do patch test before as you use it first time
