What Causes Lack Of Appetite And An Aversion To Eat In A Toddler?

My 2 year old grandson was in the nicu for 49 days, aspirated so would not take a bottle or nipple. He is tube fed and has no appetite and has an ounce since last month. He is active but will not take very many bites of food due to his aversion. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?
