Yeah, the parents give consent for the baby instead of the baby itself. Imagine if you replace circumsision with any other form of mutilation, would that be ok? If they want it done religiously I’d wait until they were older then they could consent to it if they really wanted it.

It’s trivial in terms of actual harm done to the baby (for males that is). Also would you support banning it for Jews and Muslims?
-
You can keep it but I’d prefer they wait until they’re either a teen or adult. As for “trivial harm” that’s not always true. Many mess up and cause irreparable damage. There are also cases of flat out accidental castration.
-
It’s often more painful when done as an adult or teen, and as long as it is done by a trained medical professional it should be fine
-
That’s what anesthetic is for.
-
It’s specifically intended to not be done with anesthesia iirc (at least for Jews).
