Would you deffer for an additional year?

I have a baby of three month and a child of 9 years full time, a teen son I share custody of plus a vulnerable adult daughter that I support more than an average adult child. I am going back to work three days a week next month, also due to go back to university ( part time) in Sept. I'm trying to decide if to deffer my university course for a further year, would it be easier with a 19 month old rather than a seven month old? My degree is in counselling, it involves classroom time, seeing clients in an addiction service, supervisory sessions and having personal counselling. My work is office based - citizens advice bureau. I'm looking forward to working and studying but feeling stressed while trying to find the best childcare solution and sad that I'm leaving the baby so soon.

My experience is a younger baby is MUCH easier. Once they’re talking and walking/running/climbing/ sleeping less… it’s harder.
