"babi" in context

Felly, rydym yn croesawu'r ddeddfwriaeth hon, er wrth gwrs rydyn ni'n credu bod yna lawer o ffyrdd y dylai fynd ymhellach, ond nid yw hynny'n rheswm i gadw'r brych a lluchio'r babi, neu yn wir y bws yma.

So, we do welcome this legislation, though of course we think that there are many ways in which it should go further, but they are no reason to throw the baby, or indeed the bus, out with the bathwater here.
