Flutter bottom nav bar

I was experimenting with bottom navigation bar in flutter. Again, very new to flutter. Can I use custom svg icons instead of the icons provided by flutter's material in BottomNavigationBarItem. It would be amazing if you could help me out with a code snippet.

I have this type of navbar I am working on right now.enter image description here. I have these custom icons but I don't know how to use them.

Use a package to use svg, instruction is here: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_svg#-installing-tab-

then include the svg file to your bottom navigation bar item in the icon parameter

bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
        items: [
          BottomNavigationBarItem(
            icon: SvgPicture.asset(/*path to the svg file*/),
            title: Text("Browse")
          ),
]

You can copy paste run full code below
You can use package https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_svg
and wrap with Container to provide width and height

          height: 30,
          child: SvgPicture.asset(
            "assets/wikimedia/Ghostscript_Tiger.svg",

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
