My 3w old baby has woken up with an oozing right eye. it's not red or swollen, just a constant sticky 'sleep'. what can be done to treat this?

Eye: It is frequently that babies have an obstructed tear duct. You can start massaging it close the nose eye angle and make an appointment with your pediatrician to asses.
