When Does One Become a Mahram Through Nursing?

Question: Can I marry the son of my maternal aunt if my maternal grandmother nursed him? My grandmother only nursed him once before he reached two years. I tried to find the answer in Saheeh Al-Bukhari, but I didn't find anything useful except for the commentator's note that the rulings related to nursing are established by five feedings. I read in Saheeh Muslim that one or two feedings are of no consequence.
The questioner can marry the man she mentions in the question because prohibition [m: of marriage] through nursing is only established when one is certain that five feedings have taken place.

السؤال : هل يجوز لي أن أتزوج ابنَ خالتي إن أرضعته جدتي من جهة الأم ؟ أرضعته جدتي مرة واحدة فقط قبل أن بلغ سنتين ، حاولت أن أجد الجواب في صحيح البخاري لكن لم أجد شيئاً يفيدني إلا تعليقاً من المعلق يقول إنه تثبت أحكام الرضاع بخمس رضعات وقرأت في صحيح مسلم أن رضعة واحدة أو رضعتنين لا يترتب عليه شيء .
الجواب : يجوز للسائلة أن تتزوج المذكور في السؤال ؛ لأنَّ التحريم بالرضاع لا يثبت إلا بخمسِ رضعاتٍ يقيناً .
