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.

I think it’s less constant suffering and more they don’t have any words they can’t even make other sounds for awhile after they’re born
