I start with a shot glass at 6 momths, good size and weight. I do help them hold it at first during the learning process, but a normal baby is eager to take over, just like they are eager to grab the spoon or take finger food by themselves. You can train them to give up temporarily and let you do all the work, or you can let them have at it and accept that there will messes and spills. I believe in the principle of letting a child do for himself whatever he is able and willing to.

I’m worried about a shot glass being dropped off the side of his high chair and shattering. Should I not worry about that? |
I'd get a low table and chairs and have them sit there if using a shot glass

If that's a concern, I would probably go for a non breakable cup. When my own babies were learning I hovered at first and took the glass from them when they were done with their drink.
