A mother of seven children is fighting to regain custody of her twin babies six months after her decision to exclusively breastfeed resulted in the order for the removal of the children. Lasha Cauthen of Cincinnati, Ohio, said policemen entered her hospital room on Feb. 10, 2023 to take her into custody while she was breastfeeding because of what had occurred at a routine appointment with a medical doctor 10 days earlier.1
According to a local TV news report by WXIX/Gray News, Cauthen took her 10-day-old twins to the doctor to establish a relationship with a primary care provider, but the visit quickly became uncomfortable when she shared that she is vegan, maintains a holistic lifestyle and does not vaccinate her children. “I don’t get vaccinations. We don’t vaccinate. We don’t use any modern medications unless necessary,” Cauthen said.1
