Macbeth

What is lady Macbeth saying

Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.

L. Macbeth is criticizing Macbeth for backing out on his promise to kill Duncan. She says that she keeps her promises to the extent of killing her baby if she said she would. L. Macbeth is trying hard to sound ruthless.
