It can be recalled that Mariel struggled to breastfeed her first daughter Isabella.

In various interviews in the past, she opened up about producing very little milk due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and some hormonal issues.

She has to turn to formula feeding until her milk supply improved.

Eventually, she was able to fully breastfeed Isabella and was even recognized by the Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines Inc. as a breastfeeding advocate in 2017.
