Usually the rib cage abnormalities are rare moreover involving single rib is nonexistent. The thing you’re observing is due differential muscles which are intrcostal. It is too early to say abnormality till the child is sitting upright hope this helps.
Next Steps
Try to rollover the child on both sides for equal development of muscles of chest.
