The answer

Prohibition is established by five full, satisfying sucklings. Doubt concerning the number of sucklings does not establish prohibition, because the default is the absence of suckling. So, if a man and a woman doubt whether the suckling from the other's mother reached five sucklings, then propinquity (mahramiyya) is not established between them.
