Parents of babies who have to wear helmets for medical reasons have been sharing pictures of their little ones with Chrissy Teigen after her son, Miles, was fitted with one.
Chrissy took to Twitter last night and wrote: "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 [head] and honestly he's probably gonna be even cuter with it somehow."

Chrissy was definitely right about him looking even cuter as she also shared a picture of her six-month-old wearing the white helmet with the simple caption "guys".
She also joked that it was too late for her own head.
Flat head syndrome or plagiocephaly and brachycephaly is a condition babies get which is often due to a baby spending a lot of time lying on their back.
Helmet therapy is used to fix the shape of a baby's head as they grow. Babies who have plagiocephaly usually wear the helmet for 23 hours a day for about 3 to 6 months.

After sharing the picture of Miles the mum-of-two was sent plenty of pictures of other children wearing helmets in support.
One user wrote: "Seven years ago my baby girl needed a little help too. Now she's a perfectly symmetrical (and healthy and smart and beautiful) big girl."
Another parent added: "Bonus-you can stick things to your child if you're a really good parent. Good luck! And sunshine is the best way to clean those suckers."
Parents also gave Chrissy some tips on decorating the helmet with minion, space and superhero themed helmets also appearing in the thread.

One parent simply wrote: "Bonus: You can turn him into a minion pretty easily", alongside an adorable picture of herself and her child.
