How do babies and toddlers cry and scream so much without damaging their vocal cords?

I’m sitting here wondering how my toddler niece can cry this loud day after day, while if I sing along to a concert for 2 hours my voice gets strained for a couple of days.

As a father of an 8 month old monster, I believe the answer is that they were sent from the depths of hell itself; the laws of science applying to us mere mortals clearly don’t apply to them.

However… It could be a pitch thing. When you shout at a gig, you force your voice to a point where it’s raucous (and probably louder than a child). It could just be that the volume, plus the high pitch makes it seem even louder than it is.
