Help! New grower. Leaves looking abnormal

The leave looks weird and the plant is 6 days old . Is it growing slow ?Should I be worried ?

Seedlings often start slow as they are busy creating roots at first. They also often can have miss shaped leaves. As far as shape, I see nothing wrong. Just a worried parent😁

The cotyledons will (the round first leaves) will die off eventually.

why is that ?

As the plant develops more leaves, the small first leaves really don’t have a purpose anymore. They’re too small to produce photosynthesis and contribute to growth as the larger ones are produced do a better job. @blanc_roses
