our pediatrician put forth the question while we were together in his office, more than a month before my lad was born (and us not knowing the gender of the pending baby)
He also reassured us that it is not done as a default procedure as is one was years ago.
I would guess that it could be done with only the mother's consent but I'm not sure how the medical staff would deal with an open disagreement between the parents.

You need to sign a form to consent or decline circumcision. We were asked and presented with a form to sign 20 years ago when my son was born.

Can't remember. I "think" we both signed.
