We had Pip in a cradle in our walk-in robe for the first 9 months - mind you, that's cause we physically didn't have any other room for him. Had a breathing sensor for his cradle and this gave a lot of relief. I tried co-sleeping with him in our bed but I'd wake up screaming, thinking I'd smothered him, even if he wasn't in our bed (so DH banned that idea ) I also spent the first weeks at home camped in the lounge with him.

Take advantage of your hospy with DH to sleep over as well to see how he goes
