loving my baby's peers

To love babies unborn.  Reader if you are, help me do it!  I am trying, have been trying for a few months now, to love the little ones who are not yet born.  It is easy to love the little one inside of me :)  okay not super easy, but it is something I can understand how to do and achievable.
My little one is very responsive, kicking a lot.  I can often see a little protruding hand or foot bumping out of my big belly.  I have heard my baby's heartbeat since she or he was only a few months inside of me.  I love this one by eating a lot of protein, drinking a lot of water, being careful with my activity, getting the baby regularly checked by a medical professional, and so on.  This one is mine, this one is mine to love.
But what of the other babies, my baby's peers?  Can I love them too?  I guess it is primarily their own mother's responsibility to do that, in the way that I do it for mine.  So, maybe this is going to lead my quest towards loving the mothers, so that they will love their babies.  Hmm I like that idea.  How to do that?
