In the book of Exodus 2:8-10 it tells about how Pharaoh's daughter, after finding him in the river, agreed to have a Hebrew woman nurse the baby until he was older. It is implied that he was sent to be raised by his birth mother until he was weaned. So I would say he was living with his birth mother until he was about 2 years old. After he was weaned, he was returned to Pharaoh's daughter to continue being raised. But he may have been with his birth mother as long as to the age of 5, especially if there were any drought, famine, or other hardships in Egypt. It is still not very uncommon to not wean children in the Middle East until 4 or so.
