This study describes food consumption patterns among US children \u226423 months. We used one 24 h dietary recall from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009\u20132014 to estimate the percentage of children \u226423 months who consumed selected food\/beverage categories on any given day by age and race\/Hispanic origin. Among 0 to 5 month olds, 42.9% (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 37.0%, 49.1%) consumed breast milk, with non-Hispanic blacks less likely (21.2%, 95% CI: 13.2%, 32.2%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (49.0%, 95% CI: 39.0%, 59.1%) (p &lt; 0.001). The percentage of children consuming vegetables was 57.4%, 48.2%, and 45.1% for ages 6 to 11, 12 to 18 and 19 to 23 months, respectively (p &lt; 0.01 for trend). The percentage of children consuming sugar-sweetened beverages was 6.6%, 31.8% and 38.3% for ages 6 to 11, 12 to 18 and 19 to 23 months, respectively (p &lt; 0.01 for trend). Among children aged \u22656 months, lower percentages of non-Hispanic black and Hispanic children consumed vegetables, and higher percentages consumed sugar-sweetened beverages and 100% juice compared with non-Hispanic white children, although differences were not always statistically significant. Compared with children in the second year of life, a higher percentage of children 6 to 11 months of age consumed vegetables and a lower percentage consumed 100% juice, sugar-sweetened beverages, snacks, or sweets; with differences by race\/Hispanic origin. These data may be relevant to the upcoming 2020\u20132025 federal dietary guidelines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu9090942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,28]],"date-time":"2017-08-28T12:08:37Z","timestamp":1503922117000},"page":"942","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Food Consumption Patterns among U.S. Children from Birth to 23 Months of Age, 2009\u20132014"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Heather","family":"Hamner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA 30341, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cria","family":"Perrine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA 30341, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priya","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA 30341, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsten","family":"Herrick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hyattsville, MD 20782, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Cogswell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA 30341, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"723S","DOI":"10.3945\/ajcn.113.069047","article-title":"Learning to eat: Birth to age 2 y","volume":"99","author":"Birch","year":"2014","journal-title":"Am.
