Since having son three months ago, i feel like my back and shoulders cracks a lot when i stretch and i feel tight. what could this be?

Muscle strain: You may not be stretching as much as you need to. Stretch frequently and use different positions when you hold your baby so your muscles won't tighten up when you sit for a long time. Try some yoga or other flexibility exercise to get back in shape.
