You're not supposed to eat the mother with the baby's food. I might be completely wrong...Rudey correct me if I am.
That's part of it but honestly it's not that simple. All the laws of kashrut have had hundreds of years of thought and reflection on them by people smarter than the average bear and can't be broken down into a one line equation like that. A lot of the laws have a lot to do with ritual purity more than anything else.
