Deductions & credits

Last year I only made 15,000 yet received 6,000 in the CTC with a total of about 9k as my total federal return.

this year I have an additional child and made less money, yes, but I also heard if you make less money, you’re refund will be higher. I’m going to get back to you on line 28, I have to check it out. 
my point is, what changed so drastically this year with the IRS that I went from 6k in child tax credits to 1,100?
