would any long term breastfeeders mind helping me a small survey? (not a real survey)

I breastfed my older ds til age 1. He is now 5 and we still have issues with nighttime dryness. My younger ds is 2.5 and appears to be dry at night already. I am still bf him. I just wondered if there may be a link. Obviously good chance its a coincidence but thought it may be interesting to see other peoples experiences. Obviously breastmilk has hormones in it. So thought it feasible there could be a link! I couldnt find anything with a google search.

Combie fed by son due to
supply issues. Last BF was around a year old. He's 2yrs and 1mth and is dry all day and most nights already.

MY son, not BY son obviously!! Grin

I've only read the thread
quickly OP but it seems responses suggest the opposite? Think you'd need to get responses re FF children too to judge better though?

I didn't bf all of mine.
My two eldest where bottle fed so mine goes like this
Dd1 bottle fed dry at night 2.5
Dd2 bottle fed dry at night 2.5
Ds3 breast fed dry at night 2.3
Dd4 breast fed dry at night 2.5
Dd5 still being breast fed at 17 months so too young to know as yet.
I'm unsure about all of this because every child is different and so is every mother. I've been quite lucky with all if mine I think. With my dd4 she is only just 4 and if for some reason she had a later than normal night and didn't do a couple of wees she would probably have an accident.
