Normal for an 11 year old to still drink out out of a baby bottle?

My friend's cousin is 11 and he still drinks out of the baby bottle. We both think it's weird, but his Mother (her aunt) is against disallowing him as she says it upsets and aggrivates him. At school, he goes to the nurse and drinks/eats there because the school doesn't feel it's right for him to be embarrassed by his mother's tendencies. (I know this because my neighbor is the assistant principal).

Is it normal? If you're wondering, the kid is slightly babyish still, but he doesn't have any sort of mental problem.

    Doctors have been recommending you stop the bottle at 1. What kind of problems does this kid have?

    She needs to let him grow up, he can't go to the nurses room to drink his whole life. If she doesn't stop it now, he is going to have problems later in life. It probably a comfort thing.
