The answer

The sufficient amount of suckling that establishes prohibition is five known sucklings, based on the of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that "ten known sucklings prohibit" was abrogated by "five known [sucklings]." And because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded Sahla bint Suhail to suckle Salim five times for him to become prohibited by her milk. Anything less than five sucklings does not prohibit. However, it is recommended to be scrupulous and avoid it for those who hold the view of prohibition by a single suckling. A suckling is defined as the child taking the breast and then leaving it by his own choice.
