I use this on babies that need a little extra in the line of cereal.

My experience is that when the little one cannot keep anything down or up. this works nicely.

1 cup barley (pearled)
2 pints water
Cook in crock pot for 6 hrs
pour barley water through strainer, keep the water
for every 15oz of barley water add:
3oz karo syrup (dark)
10oz milk (regular)

This works wonders in keeping dehydration at bay. Easy on the tummy, easy on allergies and easy on the pocket book.
