Unwarmed milk?

My Dts were in NICU and always had their feeds, first Ng tubes and then bottles (theymix feed) nice and warm.
I'd really lIke to get out and about more now they're 5 months, but having to have the milk at a perfect temperature is a real ball ache (and I can't bf to satiate hunger, so that's not a solution).
Anyone got any tips for getting then uses to room temp milk?

Could you just do it gradually? My DS has ebm by bottle (after huge tongue tie fiasco and resulting inability to feed at the boob face) and at first he had it warmed up to body temperature. We gradually warmed it for him less and less so over the course of a couple of weeks he came to accept it at room temp. He'll even have it from the fridge these days if he's very desperate!
Good luck and hope the twins are doing well!

Ok, so it can be done, thanks for reassurance. Previous attempts to reduce heat have been met with disgust, but we'll persevere!
