Baby's head positioning

My baby has normal head control, like if she's feeding, preening etc, but when falling asleep sometimes she throws her head al the way to rest it between her shoulder blades. Is this normal, or is something wrong with her?

I know there is something about this, the name slips my memory, something like tortecullis?
We have a member with a CAG that has it.
Is this happening only when the baby sleeps?
If she's up and playing with a normal neck movement, I'd not worry overly.
But it's still a good thing to ask your vet about it.

Thanks. Its just when she sleeps or is tired. It looks really odd - apparently its common in eclectus. I hope its not a head trauma or some disease.
