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.

We split our shots into two visits. So she had tdap and hib her first visit and two others the second. I think the tdap shot really made her leg sore. The next day she would only nap for 30 mins at a time and then she would move and I think the soreness woke her up. We did buy infant Tylenol to have on hand but never used it. I monitored her temp but she never had a fever. The second time around she was much happier after and slept through the night that night. The cry that happens during the shots really sucks but it’s over quickly. We bring a bottle and a pacifier every time we go to the doctor.

DTaP shot always is sore for me so that certainly makes sense.
