I have no idea what I would do if that were my kid.

But isn't just leaving it alone an option?

This kid is probably the next step in human evolution and people want to cut him apart. Three arms/hands are certainly unusal but it could be very useful.

If his small size is a problem, and it isnt a life threatning situation, I agree with Boom.

Leave him be.

If it is 'necessary', do the procedure later when he is 4 / 5 years old

Would YOU want to have three arms growing up? Of course not.

He might be the next evolution in humans but he'd still be the biggest joke on the playground.

He'd be a great dealer in Las Vegas. He'd be raking it in, hand over fist.
