Q.

I have heard not to introduce sugar to babies till age of 1. But doctors also recommend cerelac to babies which has sugar in its ingredient. Is any particular amount of sugar ok to be given?

A. Yes basically you got to avoid it and give homemade cereal. sugar is refined by lot of chemical processes which may be harmful to children even adults. Excess sugar may cause caries and tooth decay in children and unwanted obsetiy. Instead replace with natural sweeteners like jaggery or palm candy.
