Periods can be absent for as much as 14 months even if not lactating, and breast feeding can add months to that total, even if the feeding itself is long done. Quite common to see breastfeeding women go 14 - 16 months before they start ovulating again, although many get their period after only 2 or three months as well... see actual comments at this site:

Call the OB/Gyn nurse at your clinic and see if she has more info...

If you were still nursing him even a little bit that can sometimes delay the period for up to a year. But because he is now eating solids 3 times a day and some snacks it sounds like you could have a hormone imbalance going on. I would recommend getting in touch with your dr to see what they think.
