The main reason the Cold war did not end in World War III, was because of something called MAD, or mutally assured destruction, which basically means that if any one country were to launch nuclear weapons at another, the other country would retaliate and launch more of there own, and both countries would be destroyed.

Which was not a result of the baby boom that followed world war 3?

There was no baby boom following World War III, as the conflict has not occurred. The term "baby boom" typically refers to the significant increase in birth rates following World War II, not III. Therefore, it is not applicable to discuss the outcomes of a nonexistent event. If you meant World War II, please clarify, and I can provide information on that.
