Babyhawk Met Tai, Close or Moby for Newborn?

[northlondonchoclover]

I'm slight and my DH is a 6 footer. I suffer from back and shoulder pain. Baby is 7 pounds 3 ounces. Which would you recommend?

If it were me I'd go for a Moby for a new born and then if at 5/6 months old you still want to sling then move to a MT which I find more comfortable with an older baby because the fabric isn't stretchy like a Moby.

I'd go for the Moby over the Close because its easier to wrap it in a way that suits your neck/back best, I found it more adjustable than the Close. HTH.

I only have a Close so can't comment on the others, but I love it and it is no problem swapping between me and DP when we are out for walks etc. The big drawback compared to the Moby is that you can't use the Close as a back carrier, but for me that was outweighed by it being very simple to use - I wasn't confident enough about tying a wrap myself.

I'd second a Moby, I loved mine so much and can't wait to have another baby and use it again. It works brilliantly for me - I am petite with back problems, DH quite a lot bigger and we could both use it. More versatile than a Close I think.
