Is A Slight Curve In The Spine Of An Infant Normal?

hi, my daughter is 20 month now and i notice that her spine just below her head was slanting a bit to the left, she's active and playing like a normal kids would, i've consulted some pediatric, and they say it was because she was skinny, that's why the spine looks bulging up and slant a bit. i'm really worried. is it really ok?
