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.

Sorry I was just doing a search rather than posting a new thread!

Does it work the same with wine?
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!
