The anointing with oil on the chest is meant to give the child the grace and the strength to live the Christian life. In ancient times, athletes would massage their muscles with oil to prepare themselves for competition. Soldiers would do the same to prepare themselves for battle. In Scripture, the Christian life is equated with both of these things: a race to be won (cf. 1 Cor 9:24; 2 Tim 4:7; Heb 12:1) and a spiritual war to be waged (cf. 2 Cor 10:3-4; Eph 6:12). So, in baptism we give the new Christian his or her adequate preparation.

How did the Apostles administer Confirmation?
Probably in a similar way as is still practiced in the Eastern Rites: that is, it was the second half of baptism, and was administered immediately following baptism. A vestige of this survives in the Latin Rite, where there is still an anointing with Sacred Chrism immediately after Baptism. So it would have been the anointing at the end of the initiation ceremony when the Apostles administered Confirmation.
