My LO now 24 pounds still uses his elastic wrap. I found after searching high and low and testing different fabric that a very tight stretch supports and feels better than a woven or no stretch. I'm talking super hard to stretch elastic, it makes my arms ache getting him and out of it. I found that it's supportive for the babies head when they are young.
Mei Tei's are great but not for newborn, you'd want them to be supporting their own head first. If you really liked one then you could get one custom made with support for the babies head. weight range would be 10 pounds till 40 pounds cuddle wrap would be newborn till they feel too heavy.
I agree having a mei tei made would be a good route there are some listed in the yard sale section. Also the elastic wrap you could make...just find tight elastic. I have some here you need 5 metres and I'll give it to you for what I paid for it.
