Depends on your natural cycle, could be up to one year if you are breastfeeding (although you're still fertile earlier) or within a month if you're using formula.

Most people start having their periods between 6-9 months after a childbirth. It is longer if you are exclusively breastfeeeding your child.

When you breast feed it delays you having periods, your periods will return when you finish breast feeding. If you bottle feed your periods return in about two months.
