While filming the upcoming ‘The Kingdom’ in the hot hot heat (great band, by the way) of Arizona, Jennifer Garner says she was hospitalized twice.

“I guess I was getting heatstroke,” Garner, who filmed the FBI drama while breastfeeding her daughter Violet, says in the October issue of Marie Claire. “All my electrolytes were going to the baby — I wasn’t keeping any of the potassium in my body. I would never pass out or anything, but I just got so dizzy that I thought, I can’t pick up my daughter when I get back to the hotel. It happened twice. It was scary.

“I checked with a pediatrician, I checked with my gynecologist,” she assures, “and they said, ‘Breast-feeding? You’ll be fine. Just drink plenty of water.’ But the rules when it’s 138 degrees are different.

“I made it through, though. I really didn’t want to give it up, and I didn’t.”

No, she didn’t give up. In fact, she continued to breastfeed Violet, now 22 months, until she was 14 months old.

I can’t wait to see this movie – it looks really good.
