Muwatta MalikHadith #1283: Maqtu Sahih

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ الرَّضَاعَةُ قَلِيلُهَا وَكَثِيرُهَا تُحَرِّمُ وَالرَّضَاعَةُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرِّجَالِ تُحَرِّمُ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ الرَّضَاعَةُ قَلِيلُهَا وَكَثِيرُهَا إِذَا كَانَ فِي الْحَوْلَيْنِ تُحَرِّمُ فَأَمَّا مَا كَانَ بَعْدَ الْحَوْلَيْنِ فَإِنَّ قَلِيلَهُ وَكَثِيرَهُ لاَ يُحَرِّمُ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الطَّعَامِ ‏.‏

As for what is after the first two years, little or much, it does not make anything haram. It is like food
