Lots of other places also do not have pre-school available. She is a bright kid. Agree with the other, wouldn't send her just for socializing reason.
Just wonder how she is like with relatives?
Perhaps try inviting kids to your home and see how she is reacting with other kids? Involve her in the process, lets her choose which friend to come....
If she is ok with that, then perhaps plan an outing with her friends, eg. at the park or playground...
Hope this helps. May be you are already doing all these things already.

It shouldn't hurt usually unless the baby doesn't latch on properly.
For me, the first few weeks did hurt and my nipple was cracked at one side as my baby was better at one side comparing to the other side. Once my daughter improved and I was better with different breastfeeding position, it did settle down.
She is now six months plus and is still breastfeeding.
Like what the other said, it is convenient in the sense that - no need bottle sterilizing, washing etc.
If you are going out with the baby, try to get a nursing cover. It is so convenient and you are not exposing you boobs too!

Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / Re: Baby led weaning (BLW)

My daugther is now 6 months plus. I was also interested in the BLW. She started her first solid when she was 5.5 months old. (WHO recommends to wait till 6 months) She took a piece of clementine from my hand and put it in her mouth. Then she started to suck.
I also do not follow strict rules of BLW. I introduce one new food everyday. She seems to enjoy it very much. I am giving her homemade food mainly lentils, fruits and vegetables. I found using pressure cooker to cook lentils and veg helpful and time saving too. I would then mash them slightly with spoon before feeding her.
With regards to fruit, she loves banana, apple, watermelons, papaya and clementines. I do not cook the apple. I simply 'grate' it with a spoon and feed her. I also give her cooked boiled egg. I use a fork to mash it into small pieces. She seems to know how to chew the food in her mouth before swallowing (even though she hasn't had any teeth yet.)
I also give her one meal of baby cereal a day (as a source for iron) as I am vegetarian.
Hope this is helpful.
