“…One hundred and thirty seven food diaries were collected and analysed using updated food consumption data for vitamin D from international sources to reflect currently available analytical data (2) . Values for nutritional supplements and brand-level foods were updated based on current market data and from the Irish Food Composition Database (3) .The mean daily intake (MDI) of vitamin D from all sources in the total study population was 3.8 mg and almost everyone (94 %) had intakes below the EAR of 10 mg/d.

The US Institutes of Medicine estimated average requirement (EAR) for vitamin D is 10 mg/d (400 IU/d) for children above one year (1) . We have reported vitamin D intakes in Irish children (aged 5-12 yrs) and adolescents (aged 13-17 yrs) that are substantially below the EAR (2) . The current analysis aimed to estimate intakes, prevalence of inadequate intakes, and dietary sources of vitamin D in younger children in Ireland.Food consumption data for this analysis was collected in the form of a two-day weighed food diary from participants of the Cork BASELINE Birth Cohort Study at their 24-month follow-up. One hundred and thirty seven food diaries were collected and analysed using updated food consumption data for vitamin D from international sources to reflect currently available analytical data (2) . Values for nutritional supplements and brand-level foods were updated based on current market data and from the Irish Food Composition Database (3) .The mean daily intake (MDI) of vitamin D from all sources in the total study population was 3.8 mg and almost everyone (94 %) had intakes below the EAR of 10 mg/d. 'Growing-up milk' was an important source of vitamin D among 2-year olds, and contributed 61 % to total intakes of 7.6 mg/d among consumers. Fortified milk and yogurts, nutritional supplements and breakfast cereals were important sources of vitamin D, see table. Intakes from the base diet were low; with actual contributions from meat, fish, eggs, and non-fortified milk and yogurts ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 mg/d, regardless of supplement use or fortified food consumption. The prevalence of vitamin Dcontaining supplement use was < 10 % and the mean intake of vitamin D in supplement users was 9.2 mg/d; 67 % had intakes below the EAR. Non-users of vitamin D-containing supplements who consumed vitamin D fortified foods had an intake of 3.9 mg compared with 1.2 mg in those who did not use supplements and did not consume fortified foods. Results show that despite consumption of fortified foods among 78 % of the study population, the current supply of vitamin D in the diets of toddlers living in Ireland is unable to deliver vitamin D at the recommended levels. The impact of these relatively low intakes of vitamin D on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in this population is currently under investigation.

“…Analyses were based on data from the National Pre-School Nutrition Survey (2010-2011), a nationally representative survey of food consumption in 1-4 year old Irish children (www.iuna.net). A 4-day weighed food diary was used to collect food intake data and nutrient intakes were estimated using WISP g , which is based on McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods 6 th edition (1) and the Irish food composition database (2) . Growing-up milks were consumed by 20 % of children aged 12-36 months (12-24m: 25 %; 24-36 m: 14 %) with an average daily intakes among consumers of 360 ml for 12-24 month olds and 298 ml for 24-36 month olds.…”

Over the last decade, growing-up milks have become available commercially in Ireland for children aged 12-36 months to complement a balanced diet and to help reduce the risk of nutrient inadequacies. The aim of this paper is estimate the intake and contribution to the energy and nutrient intakes of growing-up milks in Irish children aged 12-36 months. Analyses were based on data from the National Pre-School Nutrition Survey (2010-2011), a nationally representative survey of food consumption in 1-4 year old Irish children (www.iuna.net). A 4-day weighed food diary was used to collect food intake data and nutrient intakes were estimated using WISP g , which is based on McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods 6 th edition (1) and the Irish food composition database (2) . Growing-up milks were consumed by 20 % of children aged 12-36 months (12-24m: 25 %; 24-36 m: 14 %) with an average daily intakes among consumers of 360 ml for 12-24 month olds and 298 ml for 24-36 month olds. The table below presents the contribution of growing-up milks to mean daily energy and nutrient intakes in consumers only (n = 49).
