Piri Weepu has defended his decision to bottlefeed his daughter after footage of the All Black bottle-feeding her was cut from an anti-smoking advertisement.
The Press Council has issued a ruling on aspects of this story
The two-second glimpse of the Rugby World Cup star feeding his 6-month-old daughter Taylor was removed following concerns from pro-breastfeeding organisations the high-profile of Weepu would sway people away from breastfeeding their children.
Weepu told 3News his baby is allergic to dairy, one of the reasons why she is bottlefed.
Debate on this issue is now closed. Here is a selection of Your Views:

Noeline Craig says"Don't deny him the closness with his baby and don't deny us the chance of seeing the soft side of Piri."

Rose says"In practically all cases breast is best, and having people's 'heroes' showing bottles rather than breast is sending the wrong message."
