I'm a first time mommy and I want to know what products you mother's recommend? From Cribs, Bottles, Etc...

The brand is actually called Earth Mama Angel Baby and they carry a whole treasure chest of products for before and after delivery including products for csection and milk aids...they are awesome.

I think for starters if you are planning on breastfeeding you ABSOLUTELY need Earth Mama nipple butter...its all natural so you dont need to wash off for baby to feed and it works WAY better and heals you twice as fast as the lanolin creams. Ive breastfed 3 babies so have tried them all and this by far wins the cake.. ..mmmm cake lolz. Im always so hungry!!

I recommend the Stokke Xplory for the stroller and the Nuna PIPA for the carseat (which can attach to the Stokke Xplory).

I bought both of these and I love how light weight the PIPA is and how Chic and modern the Xplory is.

When it comes to bottles, I have only tried 2 types so far. Advent and Nuk. Nuk is definitely the better choice to me. The advent brand just free flowed right into my baby's mouth.

When it comes to diapers I tried a few brands because of coupons. In all, the Huggies snuggler brand was by far the best. Seventh generation wasn't good for poopy diapers and pampers snuggler had issues with poopy diapers as well.

For clothes I suggest one set of newborn. You don't know how big the baby will most times and having a back up is good. Mine was 7lbs 4oz so the newborn size saved me.

Baby wipes. A lot of brands are good. I personally preferred pampers sensitive. It's nice and soft and I feel like it's easier to clean the baby up.

If you decide to go for an exclusive bassinet then go for one that doesn't fold for travel or anything like that. We have a travel one and my baby already dislikes it most of the time. You have to constantly check to ensure its down all the way. So the rock n play or pack n play is probably a better choice.

The crib I got is a 3-1 and works and feels amazing. It's not 100% wood but more on the pressed wood side (kind of like Ikea) cheaper, lighter, and just as sturdy as the full wood.

When it comes to carriers vs wraps I got a wrap. Personally I attempted the Moby/Boba wrapped type and because of my height and small size it seemed like too much of a hassle so I got a baby ktan as a replacement. It works much better. It feels small at first and right once your milk comes in but it stretches out fast.

Also, once your body is able to produce milk, get a pump the day it comes in otherwise you may have to manually express milk to relieve any pressure.

I love Camilia teething drops. They work super well when they're little. Also footie pajamas, hooded towels, play mat (the one you can hang toys off of), pack and play (we used one with a bassinet insert so we didn't need a bassinet), baby carrier (if you like baby wearing), and a booster high chair (one that just attaches to a normal chair) are awesome. :)

There are a couple things that my cousins recommended to me and then I tell other women about them because we'll they have been the most helpful! For one..a rock n play.. it's like a little bassinet that I used next to my bed for the first couple months then put it in my daughters room to get used to sleeping in there and then moved her to a crib. And then there is saline spray and a bate ret operated snot suckered lol. You can't give them any meds when they get the sniffles but man those things work so well!! I've actually been using the saline spray since becoming pregnant because it's non medicated and it works! Good luck :)
