Are you pregnant?
If not, I'd say one of the best green things you can do is... not have a baby. There are seriously way too many people. I recommend adoption, and I'm not trying to offend you when I say that. It's just a reality at this point.
I don't really get why people need cribs to begin with, so that's one thing. In a lot of cultures babies sleep with their parents. It's good for attachment and it saves expense and resources for making cribs.
If you are pregnant, breast feeding is good (for you and the baby). If you're not then I guess infant formula is the way to go, even though that's a weird idea.
Make your own diapers or otherwise get cloth ones, clean them and reuse (disposable diapers aren't healthier, they're ridiculously wasteful and unnecessary).
Also, you don't need a stroller. I was carried in a front sort of pouch as a baby. But strollers are kinda silly and unnecessary and also wasteful. The less you can buy, as a rule, the better off you are. If you can reuse of repurpose anything you have, that's the way to go.

im not preggers yet but i hope to be soon after my wedding. im not offended. its your personal choice not to have kids and its my personal choice to try and have a child with my genetics
cribs are healthier for a baby because it lessens the chance of suffocation or being squished by the parent
i like strollers because they help you carry everything your baby needs and since my fiance works most of the day i will be carrying aound the baby by myself during the day
and im deff going for breast feeding. it will help me lose the baby weight, save money, and help the immune system of my child
and im also going with cloth daipers. saves a hell of alot of money. if i can wash fleece that my rats and pooped and peed on then i think i can reuse something a baby has used
