If you have room left in the pot you're using you can build more soil around the stem to help support it.

Yea, that's an option.

If they are really just a day and a half old though, let them be. They'll start growing toward to light naturally. Maybe even put a soft oscillating fan on them, to help them become stronger.

no one seems to have mentioned this yet.. but this often occurs when your light is too far away and the seedling will stretch to reach for the light. try getting the light closer to the plant... distance will depend on what light you are using..
