What Causes Reduced Appetite In A Child?

I have a 17 month old baby who hasn't really had much of an appetie, since birth really. She never wanted a bottle (tried every formula) only about 40mils and now the same with food.. only a few mothfulls at a time. The doctor I have been going to said that i't just her but she only weighs 7.8kg.. could there be something wrong?
