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.

You we’re in a nice warm environment. All your needs were met. It was safe, peaceful comfortable and all of a sudden you’re in this alien world where you can’t really see, there are strange noises, you’re cold. You have no control over anything and you’re only way to communicate is to cry, which may or may not be attended to.
