5mo old baby's head always leaning/tilting to the right?

Question

i don't know if i should worry -- my baby can now sit upright, with support. she doesn't like leaning her head back, &would always lift her heat to look at things. but lately, i've noticed that when she lifts her head off the back support (eg my chest or her stroller or her little seat at home), her head is always tilted to the right.

when i show her things that i put on her left side, she'll turn to the left, but the head is still tilted a bit downward to the right - so she doesn't really just swivel her head to the left to look

now i notice that even when lying down and playing with her mobile, head is tilted to the right as well.

am i being paranoid or is there really a cause for worry?

I met a woman who's son had a curved spine at the neck, which she never realised until he was 4 years old! Here's what she said about it: "For example, G, who at 4 was finally diagnosed with a massively wrenched neck - it bent sideways like a bow in a curve even I could easily spot on x-ray - no idea how I missed THAT for so long... he was sunny, positive, cheerful, all day. And miserable at night. However, after he was treated for 'that which was causing him pain', he became MORE sunny, cheerful, positive, etc." Maybe your baby is suffering the same thing? It sounds as though, if so, it can be relatively easy to sort out. Good luck!
