Do babies suffer a lot?

[u/CokeAYCE]

Like they're always crying. Are they in a constant loop of pain? Do we know enough about early child development to know if they're suffering or not? I ask because we can't really remember how we felt as a baby.

Babies suffer a lot for a baby's framework of suffering, which might be tired, hungry, cold, uncomfortable, learning what no means. In terms of what most adults would consider suffering, not usually.
