Dry nappies, should I be worried?

Ok, REALLY doubting my supply ATM.
DS2 (8.5 months) hasn't had a wet nappy for about 6 hours two mornings in a row.
Should I be worried?
I am really worried about my supply, was at least hoping to get to 12 months.

if your baby has been sustained with your milk for the past 8 months, it is very very rare that it is just going to disappear out of the blue (unless you're pregnant, in which case the milk slowly turns to colostrum - which is what happened to me, but only when i was about 3 months pregnant).

also during this 6 hours he isn't having a wet nappy, is he feeding at all? it could jus tbe that his body is used to not having as much milk, or that his bladder is now able to hold more, so he is peeing less often

is he otherwise happy? how many other feeds is he having?

how are his nappies over a 24hour period? are some soaking wet in a short amount of time? My DS sometimes has a drier nappy but then others in the 24hour period are wet enough etc. I've come to the conclusion that my DS is a light wetting baby. I can't force him to drink any more breastmilk etc and he's ha;ppy and healthy just as he is.
Also what about poos? Are they hard and dry? And when he does wee, is it really smelly and concentrated? if its not then like Umminayah said, maybe he's hanging on to his wee.
