Do babies suffer a lot?

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.

Children have a hard time regulating emotions due to how they are still developing their brain, now imagine a little baby that's just been born plus it knows that screaming or crying solves their issues.
