How much sugar is okay for a baby?

I have a baby who is 8 months old. How much sugar should I be giving him a day, if any?

What is in natural foods is more than enough, yet it's hard to stop sugar once the baby tastes it. Careful with his teeth.
There are natural sugars in fruits, but extra sugar is not necessary if they are breastfeeding or taking formula. The main sugar is the lactose in the milk the body breaks down and uses.
