Good morning!!
It's good that you didn't introduce sugar till now.
Try to avoid sugar as much as you can do as baby's taste buds are developed according to present taste.
You can replace a little amount of jaggery with sugar but there isn't any benefit other than its taste.
Health Tips
Adding sugar or jaggery is only for taste.
