"I thought what if he does resemble Alfie, how am I going to take it. But when I wake up to feed him in the morning, it's lovely. Sometimes you feel like Alfie is in him. He frowns and stretches like Alfie, he is just a double." -Kate James

The 23-month-old boy died at the end of April at Alder Hey Children's hospital, which had removed his ventilator five days earlier in defiance of his parents' wishes. Alfie's doctors claimed he had an undiagnosed and untreatable neurological condition that resulted in serious and irreparable brain damage.

For months, his parents fought the hospital in both British and international court to stop Alder Hey from removing Alfie's life support. They sought permission to take him to a Vatican hospital that had offered to take the boy. Despite a few signs of hope, they were denied at every turn.

Alfie's brother, little Thomas, was born on August 6, The Sun reports. His parents feared that future children could have the same disease Alfie had, but all signs so far are reportedly in the clear.

"They explained to us that they had found two faulty genes. One comes from me and one comes from Tom," Kate explained. "Me and Tom have a one-in-four chance of it happening to more babies."

"I thought what if he does resemble Alfie, how am I going to take it," she confessed in an interview with This Morning. "But when I wake up to feed him in the morning, it's lovely.
