Oh Allie, I didn't mean to scare you. It's not AS (gas) lethal as beans, really, and a little bit goes a long way.
I do believe, and you mothers of young children correct me if I'm wrong, there is a baby food barley, like baby cream of rice or something like that. Maybe you could try that first and see how it does. Besides, since the baby food barley is ground, like cream of rice, it's easier to digest. You can go from there.
BTW, a small amount of dry barley makes a huge amount of cooked barley. I forget exactly, but it always seemed like one part dry cooked up to about 3 parts cooked. You could lower the amount of barley in the soup to ¼ cup or 1/3 cup and likely still have plenty of barley. Once you develop a taste for barley, you'll love it. I have a favorite Jewish deli I go to that has the best mushroom barley soup. OMG, I'm getting hungry for it just writing about it.
