Stiffness of the forearm muscles due to constant holding of objects plus domestic work in the wrist flexion position. These stiff muscles create traction pain at their points of origin or insertion. The extensor muscles have to work more to counter the tight flexors and thus they also overwork and become stiff causing the same problems.
Next Steps
reduce the gripping activities, stretching exercises.

Dear madam
The early morning hand stiffness- we have to rule out rhematoid arthritis.
Better to do ESR, RA factor
After delivery joint pains are common in some group of people, but as you are suffering from past 10 months, it is better to get tested for rheumatoid arthritis
