The message, on behalf of himself and Alfie's mother, Kate James, said: "Our lives have been turned upside down by the intense focus on Alfie and his situation.
"Our little family along with Alder Hey has become the centre of attention for many people around the world and it has meant we have not been able to live our lives as we would like.
'Dignity and comfort'
"We are very grateful and we appreciate all the support we have received from around the world, including from our Italian and Polish supporters, who have dedicated their time and support to our incredible fight.
"We would now ask you to return back to your everyday lives and allow myself, Kate and Alder Hey to form a relationship, build a bridge and walk across it."
He said: "Together we recognise the strains recent events have put upon us all and we now wish for privacy for everyone concerned.
"In Alfie's interests we will work with his treatment team on a plan that provides our boy with the dignity and comfort he needs."
He added there would be no more statements issued or interviews given.
