Nope. It's actually an urban legend.
"Both children of Dr. Benjamin Spock are still alive, even though the doctor himself is no longer with us. Dr. Spock had two sons by his first marriage: Michael, a museum director, and John, who studied architecture and became the owner of a construction company. (The doctor's first marriage ended in divorce after 48 years; his second marriage of 22 years ended with his death in 1998.)
The seed of this rumor was undoubtedly planted when Dr. Spock's grandson Peter took his own life on December 25 in 1983 by jumping from the roof of Boston's Children's Museum."
There's a fuller story at the source I've listed.

It was his grandson, but his wife was an alcoholic. He also tried to stop women from breastfeeding and was a quack! That's why RUGRATS made fun of him!
