My 3-month-old, while lying on her back, always tries to tilt her head upwards to her right.
It looks so awkward to me.
Is it normal for a baby to do this?

Young infants moving themselves into and resting in odd positions is very normal. As long as she does not seem stuck in that position it is nothing to worry about and no intervention is needed. She will gain control of her muscles and choose new more comfortable positions as she gets bigger.
My understanding is that infants will naturally move into positions similar to those which they had in the womb, however I can't find any good sources to back that explanation up.
