Our babys eyes are runny with goo in-the corners and a yellow sticky goo needs to be cleaned out, how do we treat this? should we go to the doctor?

Yes: This sounds like an infection and your baby will need an antibiotic eye drop. It may also mean a blockage of the tear drainage system. It should be checked out. And treated properly.
