Chrissy Teigen has revealed her son Miles needs to wear a helmet to fix his “slightly misshapen head”.

The model and TV presenter, who is married to singer John Legend, posted a picture on Instagram to say their son had been fitted for a helmet.

“My baby bug got his head shaping helmet today! Please don’t feel bad for him if you see photos. He is a happy bug and we’re just fixing his flat!”

She later joked: “I have been told it’s too late for my head.”

Plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, known as flat head syndrome, is a condition babies get often due to spending a lot of time lying on their back.

Helmet therapy is proven to fix the shape of a baby’s head as they grow.

After Teigen, 33, shared a picture of Miles in his helmet, other parents replied tweeting snaps of their own children wearing theirs.

Miles, who was born in May, is Teigen’s youngest child with Legend.

They also have a daughter, two-year-old Luna.
