It's awful when your baby cries in a tent. You feel so responsible! When I hear someone else's baby crying in a tent I am just thankful that I am not the person who has to get out of bed to deal with it! Then I roll over, snuggle down and go back to sleep!
My little boy has chronic lung disease - he was very very premature and dragged an oxygen canister round with him for the first 2 years of his life. We didn't camp at all until he was nearly 3, which was hard! I keep a fan heater going now (although i never used to) to keep the chill and the damp off the air. It does help. I really fail to see how it could possibly disturb someone in another tent it's very quiet and it's a constant white sort of noise if you do listen out for it.
Running about in the fresh air and being active is the best sort of holiday for him so I won't be packing it away anytime soon.

Well first w/end in August, the temp dropped to 4 degrees C and I was as warm as toast. No heater, just plenty of insulation between me and the ground and a four season bag, a long nightie and socks - my feet always get cold!

OK, I have a small pop-up and readily acknowledge tents leak heat so the smaller the tent, the easier it is to keep warm so you need to adjust accordingly.

I didn't think fan heaters had been invented when this thread was first posted

We invested in a decent sleeping bag last year and haven't looked back. We've been out in some cold nights and been toasty, if it does get a little chilly we throw a blanket on top.

I have friends who take a heater (don't remember what they've got mind you), but most don't run them overnight. One has recently invested in an electric blanket as he was feeling the cold. Mind you his sleeping bag is 30+ years old, never been washed and is as thin as a bath towel. This might explain him feeling cold. Wife has suggested a new sleeping bag, but he won't entertain it!
