  I think you have 24 hours to use it once it's fully defrosted, so technically it can be in the fridge longer than 24 hours because it needs time to thaw.  I'm not sure I would use it after 48 hours, but I might be the paranoid type

  ohhh just found this from the CDC:

  Thawing or warming milk 1. The oldest milk should be used first. 2. The baby may drink the milk cool, at room temperature, or warmed. 3. Thaw milk by placing it in the refrigerator the night before use or gently rewarm it by placing the container under warm running water or in a bowl of warm water. 4. Do not let the level of water in the bowl or from the tap touch the mouth of the container. 5. Milk may be kept in the refrigerator for 24 hours after it is thawed. 6. Never use a microwave oven or stovetop to heat the milk, as these may cause scald spots and will also destroy antibodies.10,11 7. Swirl the container of milk to mix the cream back in, and distribute the heat evenly. Do not stir the milk. 8. Milk left in the feeding container after a feeding should be discarded and not used again. 9. As with all foods, do not re-freeze breast milk once it is thawed or partially thawed.
