Nothing to worry about if head size is within normal limits , shape will correct at 2-3yrs of age.

Hello.
Your child needs to have tummy time of 30 mins to an hour a day.
The problem in most is positional.
Please rule out pathology by measuring the head circumference and correlating with the age.
Treatments are usually reserved to positioning, but in some cases specialised helmets are prescribed too.
