EBM - How long before freezing?

How long can EBM be kept in the fridge before freezing it?
I expressed some last night after dd went to bed, with the intention of using it this evening with whatever I expressed during today, but circumstances have dictated that I couldn't express today. What I got last night is not enough, so was wondering if it is too late to freeze it, or is it now destined for the sink drain?

Not to long to freeze it. EBM lasts an amazingly long time - even out of the firdge - thanks to all its lovely anti-bacterial properties.

Don't put it down the sink.

I would always freeze the nexzt day - so 36ish hours at the most. Not based on anything
