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.
