Do the cat/cow stretch. Get on all fours, with your arms straight and your hands directly under your shoulders; your knees hip-width apart.

Low back pain post partum is mainly because of increase of laxity of ligaments and increased body weight putting more stress on the back muscles for stabilisation.
Gentle pelvic exercise plus abdominal strengthening along with some hot fomentation should ease her problems.
Next Steps
See a physiotherapist
Health Tips
Keep taking nutritional supplements
