Go contracting. I can tell you from personal experience of the same situation that going "code monkey" is so freaking chill after having to worry about everything in a startup. In the interview process stress your understanding of the whole life cycle as we always love to hire people that can see the big picture, that'll easily make up for any rust on your skills.

If you're not ready to jump back into work just yet then just pursue an interest for a while. If you have a three month old daughter then go baby groups but social interaction is really what we're looking for here as well as some associated interest.
