Depends on the site you are at, cooking equipment doesn't usually get stolen (unlike beer!), most campers respect each others equipment and leave it out, in fact gas bottles should be left out the tent anyway for safety reasons. Use a small gas stove to warm a pan of water for the bottle early morning.

By the way, welcome to the site, it's a good 'un!

Thanks for tip can't wait get back out did step up to caravanning but as i sell em i need a break from em lol.

Why not boil a pan of water before you go to bed then put it in a thermos. By 5am it will still be warm enough to heat baby's bottle, and you could sort his feed out inside the tent, without having to step outside into the chilly morning air, or having to turn a cooker on inside the tent.

thats exactly what we used to do at home - to save going downstairs and boiling the kettle in the middle of the night!  by the time we took her camping she didn't need a warmed bottle anymore.
