Thank you for posting your question. Earwax production is a normal phenomenon as it contains the recycled cells of the external ear along with dirt and dust from the environment. Just like the amount of sweating in two people is not the same, similarly ear wax production rates may also vary considerably in two individuals. However, my suggestion would be to clean his ears (not too deeply) once in two days, preferably after he has had bath. Using any kind of oil in his ears is only going to exacerbate his wax production and hence is not recommended. Make sure you are gentle while cleaning his ears, use a sterile and soft ear bud and don't go too deep. You may ask your doctor or ENT specialist to show you the proper technique before practicing it at home. If you have any more doubts do write back.
