5. The court may, upon the application of the mother of any infant (who may
apply without next friend), make such order as it may think fit regarding the
custody of such infant and the right of access thereto of either parent,
having regard to the welfare of the infant, and to the conduct of the parents,
and to the wishes as well of the mother as of the father, and may alter, vary,
or discharge such order on the application of either parent, or, after the
death of either parent, of any guardian under this Act, and in every case may
