What will do if/when you run out of Infuvite?

Even after implementing all of ASPEN's shortage mitigation recommendations for MVI products, we will likely run out of Pediatric Infuvite and Adult Infuvite in the next 2 weeks. Our inventory RPh is being told by the manufacturer that it might be June before we can get more product. So, it looks like we will end up needing to purchase the individual components recommended by ASPEN: thiamine, ascorbic acid, pyridoxine, and folic acid. For neonates, the dose volume of each ingredient is going to be immeasurable (e.g., 0.0084 mL of folic acid). Has anyone come up with a strategy for this? Will you be making dilutions of each of these? I am just starting my search, but I'm not finding stability data on diluting those individual vitamins.
