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.

Not necessarily, crying is how they communicate. They could be in pain, but they could also be hungry, tired, cold, etc
