Actually there is no upper limit. It can be even upto one and a half years.
Instead of waiting for periods you should use some effective contraception. When you are not having periods it may happen that you will conceive and you will not even know.
Next Steps
You may plan to get Intrauterine Contraceptive device.

Breast feeding can be the cause of missed period that we call lactation amenorrhea in medical term .But chances of of pregnancy are still there .so keep checking by urine test.or else you can consult for the same.
