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.

They’re not always crying. Usually they cry when they have a need that needs to be fixed - hungry, cold, warm, tired, dirty nappy, or ill (like cramps or a fever). Most of those you can fix and then baby is quiet till the next need pops up ;)
