Debbie,
 I REALLY encourage the use of an SNS system. Even if there isn't an actual SNS system available, one of my NICU nurse colleagues will tube up a syringe and place to tube next to mom's nipple. We have used it both with a nipple shield and just next to the nipple itself. I personally feel it still gives the baby the sense of nursing and mom the peace of mind that they are so close to getting it!
Not sure if that is what you are looking for. I don't have any evidence based material to support this, though. This is just personal opinion.
Our next option if mom isn't available is typically finger feeds.
