Human history is the record of the baby being worth more than the mother.

Not quite accurate. Sometimes when the mother died in childbirth it was customary to bury the living baby with her if there was not another woman in the group who was willing or able to wet nurse.

This would usually happen to a fall or winter baby. The milk animals had dried up, food was rationed and producing enough milk for two babies is quite a strain on the wet nurse.

The baby is a future asset but a current drain, the mother is a current asset. So depending on the situation sometimes the mother was valued more then the baby.
