Breastfeeding one's nieces or nephews

Q: 

1. If I breastfeed only one of my brother's children, will my children be mahram to all of his children or only the child that I fed? 

2. Is it necessary to get permission from my husband to breastfeed my niece/nephew?

A: 

1. Only the child which you breastfed. 

2. Since this impacts on many masaail, it is better that you take your husband's permission as well as the child's parents' permission.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
