We did the same with our three kids. Our BR was really too small to accomodate a bassinet (not interested in cosleeping) and our upstairs was small enough that we knew we'd hear the baby when he needed us. It worked well with our first, so we did the same with the other two when they came home. I nursed all 3 of them for over a year each. Having the baby in the nursery meant that DH could sleep while I was feeding the baby and that I could sleep when he took a shift.
