I want to make her eat (into Spanish)

Hello everybody

I have a little daughter who is not willing to eat vegetables . I don't know what to do.
I want to make her eat them ( vegetables).
Here is my attempt:
Quiero hacerla comer verduras.
Quiero hacerla comerlas.

Are these sentences correct?
If they are not, what would a native speaker suggest?

Thank you in advance.

Ambas frases son gramaticalmente correctas, pero solo la primera suena bien; la segunda es cacofónica por la acumulación de pronombres clíticos.
