The answer

The suckling that prohibits marriage is five sucklings. The definition of a suckling is determined by common practice. Jurists consider a suckling to be when the child takes the breast and sucks from it, then leaves it. If this occurs five times in one sitting, then the prohibitive suckling is established. The suckling child becomes a sibling to all those born to his wet nurse, and to the one who breastfed him, whether he suckled with her, before her, or after her.
