Accepted Answer

Flat head in Babies is very common mostly on one side initially when the baby is not flipping on the sides in the first few months . so because of the continuous pressure over the soft skull bones such flattening can bke there . This will becyome normal by itself gradually when the skull grow in size and shape with age . 
No musturd seed pillow or any such kind of intervention like massage is required for the corrrction .

Answer

U Actually should not make your child sleep on the right side now you make your child sleep either on the back or on the left side because that way the head is going to retain its original shape with passage of time but make sure that your child does not sleep on the right side at all
