Why do babies need to eat during the night?

Question by JanieJane:

Why do babies need to eat during the night?

First of all, I'm not a parent. But I was wondering why babies need to eat in the middle of the night? Unlike adults, do they need several small meals throughout a 24 hour period, instead of three large meals, or what?
