Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what your baby had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, yes antispasmodic can cause slowness of gastric emptying as well as peristaltic movements and thus lead to constipation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
