When a baby is born, the skull is still soft. As they attempt to assist with the delivery and considering the size of the passageway it has to squeeze through, which is usually head first, the head can come out appearing elongated. It will go back into what ever it's normal shape was meant to be in a few days..

I believe they are slightly pointed to naturally help the mother with the birthing process.
But theyround out to look normal within days... so, yes.. moulded :)
I have no reference for this.. it just makes sense to me
