Breast feeding is definetly best, but you probably want to have formula ready too because your wife isn't a tap and you can just turn on.
There are services that "loan" reusable diapers. What you do is...they give you a bunch and you put a bunch of used ones in a bag and they pick it up and at the same time drop of clean ones. The reusable ones are less absorbent, but some babies are allergic to the material in the disposable diapers. Not quite sure on the cost between the two either.
Letting the baby cry is a bad idea I think, but people do argue the opposite as well. In my view, crying is the baby's way of communicating discomfort, often it is because the baby's hungry/burps/soiled diaper/rash, etc. So ignoring seems like a bad idea.
