If the liquid the infant nursed was not milk, then it does not establish the حرمة (prohibition by reason of fosterage) of suckling. However, if it was milk, but its color had changed, it does establish the حرمة, unless it was yellow or red water that is not considered milk at all. For the حرمة to be established, it is a condition that there be five full, satisfying sucklings.
