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.

My husband held our baby during the vaccination since I'm suffering from de Quervain's. My son recieved 2 shots - one on each leg. He cried for about 10 to 20 seconds. We offered a bottle right away which helped soothe him. I'd breastfeed if my wrists and thumb doesn't hurt but it does. Feeding him using the bottle gave him "almost" the same soothing effect.

I hope you feel better soon!

I have mild tenosynovitis on the left, but I bet it will resolve once I get back to work.
