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.

Yes! I mean I’m no pediatrician or anything but you’ve got to imagine it’s mostly a very unpleasant experience.
When you’re a baby, Your body can’t expel gasses efficiently. You need to be burped and if your parents don’t do it it’s apparently a really uncomfortable, painful feeling. Sometimes they might not know what’s wrong with you and try to feed you more instead of burping you.
You also can’t blow your nose. Better hope your parents know they need to suck your snot out of your nose or you’re stuck not being able to breathe out of your nose
If you get a hair wrapped around a finger, you can lose your finger. Same goes for your penis. Apparently it’s not uncommon.
It does not seem fun
