There is no family cap for welfare. What are you going to do? Let the others starve? It’s an impossible situation. Currently smaller families don’t get incentives. This isn’t to say larger families should be let to be destitute. I am just saying that those who dont should be rewarded. But if smaller families are heavily incentivized and with everyone getting UBI, then the scales will tip for quality over quantity.

Again, you haven't provided evidence that welfare payments increase birth rate because you can't. It is not something that happens. Your theory that changing welfare payments based on number of children will increase children is wrong.

  I am sorry if I was unclear. I don’t have a theory but I proposed that if we reward parents who have small families, then they will be incentivised to maintain smaller healthier families. It might also encourage those who want to have larger families to have smaller families.
