When does menstruation resume after child birth?

Dear Doctor, It’s been one year and four months since I gave birth to my first baby. However, my period has never returned. I’m still breastfeeding and my friends say that that is what is delaying it but I feel like it has been too long. Is this normal? What’s the normal time for menstruation to return after child birth?
