Sasha - Hmmm. I can't really see much of a problem either.
Firstly - banish any thoughts of spoiling or manipulation. (bubs just aren't psychologically developed for these kinds of concepts. They just cry and fuss because they get lonely and want their mummy).
And really don't worry about social pressure - it just complicates things! The only real issue you seem to have coming up is the fact that it will be hard for him to fall asleep in the bouncer as he gets bigger. Ryn's idea of using a portacot for there is a great one.
Otherwise perhaps you could implement a bit of a bedtime routine if you havent already. It works a treat with my DS because he goes from play mode to sleepy mode in 15 mins. We do a nappy change and into pjs. Say goodbye to all of the rooms, pets and people, Bedtime story (without books - just me telling a story). Then a lullaby (either me or the lullaby projector). He then goes to sleep really well. Perhaps that would work for you? You could even try starting it and then putting him in the bouncer where he currently goes to sleep at this time then once he seems to have the sleep associations going with the bedtime routine, you can try the cot. Just some suggestions.
Good luck!
(I hope this makes sense. It is late and I am still working so am a bit braindead!)
