A. no.. it's not due to oil.. cradle cap is completely harmless, not contagious, and usually disappears by your baby’s first birthday. Rub a small amount of a pure, natural oil – such as almond or olive oil – on your baby's scalp and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Gently comb out the flakes with a fine-tooth comb or brush them out with a soft brush.
