Depends. Infants can not care for themselves so the type and length of visitation should be determined by the ability of the person to properly care for the infant. A 17 year old father or mother with no experience caring for an infant and who can barely take care of him or herself should probably have limited supervised visitation. While a 40 year old stable father / mother of five children who has lots of experience with infants could likely have as much unsupervised visitation as agreed upon.
