‘Say: If the ocean were ink wherewith to write out the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted, even if We added another ocean like it.’~Al Qu'raan (18:109)
To clarify: the Prophet did not 'braid' his hair, but at times when he was on a long journey and hadn't combed it for some time his hair would form four locks. A less extreme, watered-down version of the dreadlocks some people have. This is what has been mentioned in the ahadith.
Braiding is a predominately feminine style hence I'd be wary of styling boys hair the same way.

And Allah knows best.
Braiding in some cultures is both masculine and feminine. It really depends on the culture that is in question here.

It really depends on the intention of the person. But from an Islamic legal point or view, is having long hair for men haram? No. And one way of caring for your hair is keeping it neat and tidy by keeping it together in a pony tail or by other means. I think the way a man dresses can be far more indicative of him acting in an effeminate manner. And it all comes down to culture of the person and environment as Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahmatullahu 'alayh) said.
And to the OP: InshaAllah your son will have a beard one day so there'll be no confusion that he is not trying to "imitate females" (which I don't think having long hair or braiding it does anyway).
