ELI5: Why do human babies cry so often, but other animal's offspring don't?

To clarify, I understand that there are baby animals such as birds that chirp an awful lot, and especially when their mother brings food. However, I don't see baby horses running around crying up a storm.

Crying can be both an evolutionary advantage and disadvantage.  If babies can signal to their parents that they need attention, that is good.  But if crying inadvertently attracts predators or warns off prey, that is bad.  So whether babies crying is, on the whole, an advantage, depends a lot on the particular niche a species occupies in the ecosystem.

Humans are kind of outliers in that human babies are just spectacularly helpless compared to the young of other species.  However, humans are also apex predators, and are pretty smart and could figure out how to leave the babies at home during the hunt.
