I have one of those bassinetts

I think you have a good plan. We're expecting our first this summer and our shepherd is allowed up in bed. I wouldn't change the sleeping arrangement on her, she'd be heartbroken because she's been allowed up into bed for her entire life (she's 11 now and even has a little ramp too!). Luckily she doesn't normally spend much time with us in bed during the summer as it's too hot so I don't think she'll be up in bed often. BUT just in case I will NOT co-sleep with the baby at all because it's too risky.

So right now we have a bassinett (similar to the one you have linked) right by our bed in the corner & we have my night stand kind of tucking it in even further so there's just no way the dog could at it. We will be using the playpen/crib though during the day when we're not sleeping as well (or trying to) just in case. I will eventually move the baby to his/her own room, probably by 6-8 weeks, but you never know with these things, it may be much sooner or later!
