Hi, Winnie: Not only is there a difference in the "feel" of a breastfed baby vs. artificially fed baby, but also a difference in the "look" of a breastfed baby. I was once handed a picture of identical twins (I think about 8 months old) and was told that one was breastfed, one was not. Could I tell which was nursed? It didn't take me more than a minute to correctly identify the breastfed baby. The person asking me was astounded! IMO, breast babies are more solid looking and feeling, while artificially fed babies are more floppy and flabby looking. So, I agree with you - there is a difference, a BIG one.
