Chrissy Teigen urges fans 'not to feel bad' for son Miles who needs a helmet to correct 'slightly misshapen head'

Chrissy Teigen has asked fans “not to feel bad” for her son Miles after revealing he needs a helmet for his “misshapen” head.

The model shared pictures of her six-month-old son, her second child with husband John Legend, wearing a white helmet in a series of cute snaps.

Writing on Twitter, Teigen said: “Baby Miles getting fitted for a little helmet today for his adorable slightly misshapen head.

“So if you see pictures, don't feel bad for him because he's just fixing his flat and honestly he's probably gonna be even cuter with it somehow.”

The 33-year-old then joked that it was “too late for her head”, as fans rushed to compliment “cute” Miles while others shared pictures of their own children wearing helmets.

Helmet therapy helps to correct a child’s skull if carried out while the skull is still growing. It works by directing growth from a flat spot on their head.

Teigen and Legend, who married in 2013, are also parents to two-year-old Luna.

Shortly after sharing photos of Miles, Teigen posted an adorable video of her and her daughter, who was dressed as Elsa from Frozen, dancing to A Whole New World from Aladdin.

“Nightly ritual! A magic carpet sky? I dunno the words I’m old I forget,” she quipped as she poked fun at her singing.

Teigen is something of a fan-favourite on social media, recently having the ultimate response to a fan who questioned why she wasn’t breastfeeding.

Legend posted a snap of Teigen feeding their son with a bottle, prompting one user to comment “You no longer breastfeed?”

Teigen hilariously mocked the remark, commenting: “John never breastfed Miles.”
