Does my boy have a bladder of steel or am I dehydrating him?

Son just turned 2. Has been potty trained for a few months and is probably dry overnight 6 nights out of 7. He doesn't drink an awful lot but still breastfeeds. Yesterday he did his last pee at 2.30pm. After that he drank half a fruit shoot at snack time, then a very small amount of oat milk with dinner (maybe 50ml). He also had two good sized breastfeeds and maybe a few sips from my water bottle. Very insistent that he didn't need to pee before bed. I made him sit but nothing. Woke up at 5 this morning with a dry nappy, came in for a boob and then did a pee at 6. So 15.5hrs between pees. Is that normal? He's never been good at drinking water/milk/whatever but loves a booby so I had assumed was getting what he needed that way.

He would quite often have a drinking schedule as above but would usually have a bath before bed and I assumed that he was peeing in the bath cos I see him doing it sometimes. But he didn't have a bath last night. Am I overthinking this? Worried I'm dehydrating the poor boy!

My daughter is the exact same! I don't understand it either so no advice. But I think it's fine.
