You must understand that the skull is not a single bone at birth,but separate bones,which fuse together only at 18-24 months,and the final shape is determined only then.
Of course,if baby is lying in same posture daily,one side might get flattened a bit,but that is temporary.
You need not worry unnecessarily.
