She explained how the issue was brought on from his position in the womb 'which has left him unable to move his head left'.
Sharing a photo of the little one and a graph, she began: 'Hey guys I’ve got so many DMs regarding Oax and his plagiocephaly process.
'So basically Oax has torticollis from his position in the womb which has left him unable to move his head left.
'This is hopefully improving with his physio appointments with the osteopath, however this condition has left him with plagiocephaly (the head is flattened on one side, causing it to look asymmetrical.

The reality star added: 'This can cause the ears to be misaligned and the head looks like a parallelogram when seen from above.
'Sometimes the forehead and face may bulge a little on the flat side) as you can see on Oax’s graph he’s on the severe side which even shocked me.
'I’m being open about his process as I know so many parents don’t even know about this issue and it gets left.
'He’s had his measurements taken yesterday by @technologyinmotion and in 2 weeks he’ll get his helmet fitted.
