Update - this is working quite well because DS is such a good sleeper. He has his day naps in a bouncer in whatever room we are in, I was co-sleeping but he's going longer between sleeps now so I put him back in the bassinet in our room after each feed. Other half has been sleeping in the lounge but has been sneaking back in with me now the baby isn't awake so often. The change table is cluttering up our hallway but it works.

The only downside so far has been the cat. The bassinet has a basketty thing underneath it for storage, I've been using it for baby clothes, and the blasted cat has decided to sleep under there.
