Yes, babies do know how to differentiate between day and night. It is due to they get used to the routine of the mother's while in womb. However, some babies do mix up day and night. If you are facing this problem, there are some tips on how to adjust baby's day and night confusion: http://sg.theasianparent.com/baby-sleep-help-my-baby-has-their-days-and-nights-reversed/ In the daytime, when baby is awake: -Dress him in daytime clothing to signal that it is a new day -Sing and play with him -Be social during feeds -Keep the home, including his bedroom light and bright -Don’t try to minimise daytime sounds, such as the radio, washing machine, and neighbourhoods noises -Gently wake him, should he nod off during feeds At nighttime, let your behaviour signal that it is time to sleep: -Be quiet during feeds -Keep the lights dim and the noise levels low -Put him in pyjamas to signal that it is time to sleep Here are some tips on how to make babies sleep: http://sg.theasianparent.com/how-to-make-babies-sleep/
For me, I also introduce some clues for baby, e.g. after baby wakes up, I will give him/her a warm bath to let him feel more alert. Before bedtime, I will do a wipe-down/evening bath and do baby massage so that baby knows it's time for bed. So far, these work for my children to differentiate day and night.
Sometimes babies fall asleep while eating and you may need to find a way to burp them while they're still asleep. ... Even if your baby falls asleep, try burping them for a few minutes before placing them back down to sleep.

Initially they don't. Their instinct to eat is what awakes them at odd hours. However gradually their sleep cycle will start correcting with shorter day time sleeps and longer night time naps.
