I'd also recommend a wrap. If you've tried a long one and feel like it's too much fabric, you can use a shorter wrap if it's a woven. You can't tie all the carries that are great for a newborn with a shorter one, but it's less fabric to lug around.
I'm pretty sure the Boba wrap is the Moby wrap--I think I read somewhere that Boba bought Moby but I'm not sure. I did like a stretchy wrap for a newborn but DS was too heavy by 5 mos.
I have shoulder and mid-back issues, and I found my Gypsymama less comfortable and more likely to give pressure points. I switched to a heavier wrap when DS was one and wished I'd had it when he was born! Thin wraps are also a bit harder to learn to tie than the thicker wraps, although they're comfier in summer for sure.
