Sudden higher birth rate (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

baby boom

(Other definitions for baby boom that I've seen before include "Sharp increase in population - the bulge" , "showing peak in population" , "increase in arrivals" , "Period of high birthrate" , "Comparatively small report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
