I have just been on a different thread where someone has picked holes in the op without having any real info about her sleeping arrangments. Saying what is an 8 week old baby doing sleeping alone and not with the op.
To that I say to Greenmonkies some of us have very large babies who could tip a moses basket over at 8wks (yes, I am not exaggerating) She also was uncomfortable in the travel cot and was moved into her own room at 3mths. The full sized cot would not fit into our room. DH and I are both largish and would never risk having a baby sleep with us unless feeding.
As for SIDS, yes it is recommended, however, it isn't always possible. I also found that dd1s jealousy of the baby reduced dramatically once baby went in her own room. This meant less bad atmospheres for everyone.
So I say to all preachers- wind yournecksin!
