Newborn sleep position (updated)

Rachel

Baby is 6 days old...

When I put her on her back to sleep, she pretty much always turns her head/leans to the left.

Is this normal? A problem?

We see the doctor tomorrow for our first out of hospital check up and I plan on asking.

Update:

Had our 1 week check up and asked the doctor about it. She said it’s totally fine and likely how she was in the womb. We’ll just monitor her head shape. 😊
