There's something in the Family Code called a "standard possession order," a specific visitation schedule, and the law says that there is a PRESUMPTION that this schedule is in the best interest of a child ... if the child is age 3 or older. For children younger than 3, the Court usually does something OTHER than a "standard possession order," and also makes a PROSPECTIVE order (it kicks in on the child's third birthday) which IS the "standard possession order."

A description of the "standard possession order" is found here:
