   I had heard (somewhere) that breastmilk did not create more fat cells
unlike AIM that did.  That a very chubby AIM baby would probably have weight
issues in life as it would then have more fat cells to contend with.  The
more fat cells you have the harder to lose weight?  This all sounds great,
but I don't have the research to back this up.  Has anyone else heard this?
