I have some baby food purée pouches that state you should use within 24 hours once opened. The thing is, LO isn't eating enough yet to go through a pouch in 24 hours (3.5 oz). Do you think it would be bad to get one more day out of it? Could I freeze the leftovers for use later? I really hate to waste...

I've never adhered to the 24-hr rule for pouches or jars of food and my LO has never gotten sick. My rule of thumb is closer to 3-4 days.

When I use them I put the amount she will probably eat in a serving bowl, then put the rest in a container to freeze to use at a later date - I hate wasting it too.

If it is just fruit, I am more lenient. I do the smell test with yogurt based ones.
-
If you eat directly from the pouch I would use within 24 hours. But if you put servings into a bowl I think you should be goo for 3-5 days refrigerated.

Awesome! I agree that I'd be more concerned on the yogurt ones. I have been pouring into another bowl to feed her, so that sounds good!
