Lady Macbeth (if I remember the characters speaking correctly) is being praised for her courageous character (undaunted meaning unfazed or fearless and mettle meaning what he's made of), and the idea is that this courageous bearing should be passed on to a son who can make use of it and become a great a warrior, rather than a daughter, on whom, as a person unable to prove her mettle in battle, the courage would be "wasted."

What does Macbeth mean Bring forth men children only?
After having heard a description of a horrible deed Lady M assures she is capable of committing, Macbeth replies these famous words-"Bring forth men children only for thy undaunted mettle should compose nothing but males." meaning he thinks she is incapable of raising female children. It is truly not a compliment, Macbeth feels disgust towards her description of how she'd bash the head of the child whom moments before was sucking milk from her bosom. This two lines are commonly interpreted as Macbeth saying she will only give him male children which was what most people would have wanted-as male children would continue the royal lineage-but truly, he thought that a woman with her "undaunted mettle" or mind/way of thinking... should not be allowed to raise a girl... look back at how Lady M refers to Macbeth as having too much of "the milk of human kindness." Their gender roles at the onset of the play are almost (or in some ways) reversed.

9 Why does Macbeth tell his wife that she should have only male children?
One possible explanation: So that Macbeth will have heirs for the throne he takes from Duncan, so that Banquo's sons will not eventually take the throne, as the witches first predicted. Another explanation: Macbeth doesn't really ever say that he wants his wife to bear him sons... He just says, "Bring forth men children only,/ for thy undaunted mettle should compose / Nothing but males." This is in act one, scene seven, after Lady Macbeth has told Macbeth how they can kill Duncan. By this he means that Lady Macbeth's commanding and ruthless nature is more suited to having boys than girls. OK, so Macbeth has masculinity issues. How else do you think Lady M was able to talk him into the murder?
