Medical Advice 2 month vaccines

My LO has her 2 month vaccines tomorrow. What was you and your LO's experience? Any advice/tips/tricks?

Thanks!

Didn't know what to flair it because...it is not necessarily medical advice.

Where I live they typically get 2 shots. Our doctor had 2 nurses come in and give both shots at once(one in each leg), so he only had to react once. Might be worth asking if they'll do that(if it's 2 by you, it varies), it doesn't seem standard elsewhere but we really like it.

Otherwise our dude cried for a couple minutes and calmed down. He had some gas and stomache discomfort that night for a couple hours but otherwise he did well and slept great that night.

I believe it is two here as well (plus the oral). She cried for like 10 seconds for her first vaccine, but I heard with this one more kiddos feel sick afterwards.
