  Jennifer
Garner, fellow actor as well as wife to
Ben Affleck, and mom
to their daughter Violet Anne
told Allure magazine that nursing was very different to what she
was expecting.She said "All I ever heard was everyone bitch about it, nobody ever said, 'You are not going to believe how emotional this is.' It's like, I'll say I'm going to stop, and then I'm in there, feeding her" When Jen was away from Violet overnight for the first time while doing press for Catch and Release she said "Ben has a stash of two-ounce bottles of breast milk." "While filming 'The Kingdom' Violet would be there on set, and I would feed her and then go back out. I was covered in blood and mud and dirt, and so her little sweet pink outfits would be caked in fake blood by the time she went home. She had blood across her forehead, and you don't want to see that on a little one." Nursing wasn't the weight loss solution Jen was expecting, she said "It happened to a lot of my girlfriends and sisters, and I really thought, 'This is the ticket, the best diet in the world' and it just wasn't. I kept waiting, and I just didn't lose weight. It took six months before I did. I also, though, used breastfeeding as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted. I've always had a flat stomach, and now everyone's just always going to think I'm two months pregnant for the rest of my life!" Jennifer found she didn't care, she liked her new curves and said "I could not motivate myself to work out. I wasn't going to give up that time with Violet, and if she was asleep, I wanted to sleep, because I was working. It just didn't seem important., my body felt so much more balanced out. Because I've always had a biscuit (her term for her butt) and I've never had boobs, and so I finally felt like, 'Oh, this is how it's supposed to be!" At the Academy Awards in 2006, Jennifer tripped on stage. She laughs as she recalls "Jack Nicholson was in the audience in front of me, and halfway through the night he said, 'Jennifer Garner's going to be able to feed the whole row!' |
