I would venture that this cannot be proved because "we" is ambiguous.
Aren't there two interpretations:
1. there is no person such that my baby and I both love that person.
2a. I do not love anyone besides my baby.
2b. My baby does not love anyone besides me.
I guess I would say it can be proved if there is only the #2
interpretations and 'no other' means:
1. my baby loves no one besides themself.
2. I love no one besides myself.
