It is ok. This happens as your baby stays in only 1 position on bed.
Baby s bones are softer and more moldable than adults, hence skull gets shaped the way you make baby lie..
So keep changing baby s position every 4 hours to supine, right lateral, left lateral.. this might give proper shape to skull
