Both of mine were in bassinetts wiht DD it was for the first 12 weeks, then we moved the bassinett into the room and then she went into the cot, with our DS it was different we moved into a much bigger house and the childrens rooms are way down the other end of the house so DS spent a bit longer in our room and we moved the cot in until i felt comfy with him being down the other end of the house. This bub will go in the bassinett in our room and then go to the cot in his room as DD and DS room are right next to his. I guess though it will depend on how well he sleeps
