Author and model Chrissy Teigen was just going about her day when she decided to post a photo of her son on her Twitter account, just like any regular mom would. The photo showed her son Miles in a corrective helmet.

“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,” Teigen wrote in the caption on Twitter.

Mommy praise for Chrissy

After posting the photo, Chrissy was inundated with a slew of positive comments, especially from moms who’ve also had to get their child helmets for the same or similar reasons, prompting them to share the cutest photos of their own kids in helmets.

“Chrissy, really cool of you to share. All of us parents have these moments with our kids and it just makes it easier to talk about them when you see you are not alone. You are the [queen emoji] of Twitter!” one mom praised her.

Some just really wanted to tell her how cute Miles is in his helmet: “That is an outrageously, absurdly adorable picture,” someone wrote. (Ain’t that the truth?)

Others were so glad to see a celebrity mom being totally real, and made them feel better about their own situation: “It took me a while to accept it but now as the helmet sits on a shelf as a distant memory I’m reminded of how cute it really was (and instant baby proofing wasn’t a bad perk either).”

“Thank you for sharing this. My son needed one for 5 months and I found it really tough to deal with & worried that I couldn’t get close enough physically to him and that he’d be affected by it. 7 years later and he’s a perfectly shaped little fella,” was another comment.

Why does Miles wear a helmet?

A corrective helmet is commonly worn by young children for a variety of reasons, but the reason Miles needs one is due to his positional plagiocephaly.

Most commonly, you’ve probably heard the condition be called “flat head syndrome,” as it’s when your baby has a flat spot on the back or side of the head that needs to be corrected.

Positional plagiocephaly is relatively common, occuing in about 50 percent of children, according to FamilyDoctor.org.

Positional plagiocephaly happens when a baby spends a large amount of time on their back. There’s no brain damage that occurs as a result of plagiocephaly, but the helmet simply helps mold the head back to its normal shape.

Teigen was floored by all the positive comments she received, and thanked everyone for their love and support.

“It is SO cute,” she posted in reply to everyone’s adorable photos of their own kids in helmets. “You guys are very sweet.”

Have you or someone you know ever had to get a helmet for a child? Have you ever heard of positional plagiocephaly before?
