Ewww.
I don't like prunes, either.
Why are you making her eat them? Everyone's entitled to their own food preferences, and if she doesn't like them, she shouldn't have to eat them.
Are you worried about constipation or something? If so, ask your pediatrician for an alternative.

The only time I can imagine a three year old eating prunes is if you're giving them as a constipation treatment.
In which case, all you have to do is threaten her - say if she doesn't eat the prunes you'll have to put a suppository in her.

I like prunes but I think it's an acquired taste.
Are you giving her prunes for constipation? If so, try giving her a prune/ apple juice mixture.

Why is a theree year old eating prunes? It;s for people who are constipated!

Don't force her to eat those things. If she is constipated, try a little apple cider (yes cider-works better than the juice). If it is just a fruit that you want her to eat, try a different one.

If she doesn't like them, give her something else. Can't say I blame her. That's for constipated people or old folks. There are many kinds of fruit, how about raisins or bananas?

Why does she HAVE to eat them?
Is she constipated?
You could try giving her juice instead.
