Baby hyperextending neck

Does anyone elses baby do this? My daughter is 3 months and this just started she does it some when I have her laying on a blanket on the floor. But it's worse when I have her in her bassinet. She bends her head so far back that the top of her head is like completely touching the bassinet. It looks horrible and I am so scared she's going to hurt herself. I always fix it back as soon as I see it. I used to be able to leave her in the bassinet and kinda walk away and do other stuff. But I'm afraid to do that now. I know shes learning new things and doing different stuff with her body. But the neck thing scares me. Anyone else dealt with this??

    DD has been doing this for a while and we figured out she was doing it trying to roll over. She'd stopped now that she can roll over easily both ways. The Roly poly game helped with that. I'd lay her on her back and slowly guide her to roll to one side and the other, talking to her and playing with her the whole time and sometimes sitting her up inbetween. It helped developed those muscles to do it on her own.

    She does it when she's laying on her blanket on the floor and it's not too bad. But when she's in her bassinet she just bends it back way too far. Scares me.
