Unpaid leave

Hello mummies, will you take up additional unpaid leave outside of the 16 weeks maternity? My boss is flexible and I am able to take more time off to look after my newborn. I am planning to take an additional 4 weeks unpaid, and considering maybe 8 or going back part time first.. but that would mean no income for 2 months as well. Anyone did this too?
