The fact that you are claiming a child does not guarantee a big refund. Your child-related credits are based on how much you earned from working.
Look at your 2018 tax return to see the child-related /dependent credits you received:
Child tax credit line 12a
Additional Child Tax Credit line 17b (schedule 8812)
Credit for Other Dependents line 12a
Earned Income Credit (EIC) line 17a
Child and Dependent Care Credit line 12 (comes from Schedule 3 Form 2441)
The dependents you listed are on the first page of your Form 1040 below your address.
