bounce the flash
If you bounce the flash onto the ceiling and use either an index card (poor mans reflector) or a diffuser reflector like the Joe Demb Flip-It or a Stofen you should reduce the shadows.
What bothers me in this portrait is the cropping. Te baby's face is all the way over to the side with part of it cut off and you have included a mass of busy, yet uninteresting, bedding.
