Technically there’s no issue at all with doing this.
However where she could have a problem is in convincing the immigration officials that she is the child’s true parent, and has authority to take him across country lines. I’d suggest taking a copy of your son’s birth certificate showing that she is the child’s mother, as well as a letter from you giving permission for her to travel with him. If her name on the passport is different to that on the birth certificate, such as if it changed at marriage, you’ll also want proof of that – such as a marriage certificate.
Here’s some additional information on children traveling with only one parent.
Don’t forget that you will be required to obtain an ESTA for your son to enter the US under the visa waiver program.
