Best newborn sling for large-of-nork mum?

That's it, really! I am a 36 F/G when BFing.

Expecting DS4, due in a couple of weeks.

I have had a BabyBjorn - not that keen, although DH prefers to use it as opposed to other slings
Also have a ring sling, just find it a bit unsupportive at times and feel I still need one hand on baby if doing anything
Also have an Ergo which I really really wanted to love with DS3 but in reality only used rarely as I found the central chest/back buckle awkward to do up on my own.

With all carriers I felt my boobs were in the way - not sure there is a solution to this, now that I have written it all down [

So, Moby?? Seems an awful lot of material to get to grips with...
Peanut shell?

Anyother generously endowed ladies with sling experience?

I asked the same question about slings a few weeks ago for DS (no4) as well. Am not large of norkage though.

I ended up with a Moby was a bit at first as when it arrived it looked like a very large sheet I thought I would never get on with it but it has been an utter godsend. Really easy to use, comfy and DS just loves it, it calms him down straight away.

Thank you lovely MN who recommended it

Another vote for stretchy wrap. I don't remember my size when bf, but am 36K when not . I couldn't get to grip with anything that can with straps in particular places (tried a few friends' ones). Maybe because I'm also tall/broad shouldered, so everything was at the wrong height for me. My Kari-Me I could tie to suit me. Only negative was that is can get very hot in hot weather. I don't know if there's a stretchy wrap that's made of lighter fabric?
