GG5 & 中辞典 combine, Daijr & ルミナス only have 乳兄弟.
  Comments:
乳兄弟 means both sexes; 乳姉妹 appears to only mean sisters.
Yes, it probably should be split. I suspect 乳兄弟 is more common, but the counts are skewed by the novel/テレビドラマ called "乳姉妹".
I'll approve for xrefs, then reopen.

Shouldn't we have separate entries for 乳兄弟 and 乳姉妹?
