ithink it depends on the job/employer.depending on your relationship w you work i would ask them their position as unpaid leave is at their discretion so they may be unhappy with this.
At my work you couldn't. It was part of the agreement for taking leave that if you engaged in alternate employment whilst on unpaid leave and they found out you'd have to return to work immediately or resign.
You might have a valid argument if your work couldn't provide you with the flexibile hours etc you can get with casual work ATM but are able to return to your former employer when bubs is older.
I'd say you'd have to check and get their agreement first - don't assume you can because you might find yourself constructively dismissed.
Depends on your workplace.
