Babies are fine to go straight into a cot.. You can get a brochure from your hospital that advises all the safe "SIDS" guidelines for sleeping in a cot.
Cot vs Bassinet is a personal choice. You can use what ever you are more comfortable with.
I used a bassinet, and this was in my room until DD sleept throught the night at around 8 weeks. I found it easier for night time feeds to have her next to me. A cot would not have fitted in our room!
Bubs look so tiny in a cot when they are a newborn, but it is not a problem to have them there from birth.
This will just be one of the decisions you get to make with your baby!
