Please avoid using too much oil application. You can give baby a massage 1/2 to 1 hour before baths and use oil . You can use coconut oil but avoid any harsh oils. But after bath only use an emollient or lotion( unperfumed one). These look like milia rubra which are heat rashes. Avoid putting talc on baby and keep her lightly covered and keep environmental temp in a comfortable range, if you use AC ( 24-26 )
