As far as I know, yes it's normal.
Some of my BFing friends got their periods back within a few months, some didn't get them back until they stopped BFing, even if that was for more than a year.
Personally, my DD is 8 months old and I see no sign of my periods returning any time soon.
We'll probably both get them back when we finally stop feeing.

Perfectly normal

And unless you are ttc again, don't worry about it make the most of it.

just to add - still feeding when AF came back. Night feeding had stopped for 2 months (which I think is the key - but I am just guessing really )

Completely normal - return of AF is very variable among bf mums.
