Use a damp cotton ball to wipe away the mucus,wipe from the inside of the eye near the nose to the outside.Her tear ducts may be clogged,you may have to do this a for a few days to see results but place your finger on her nose near the tear ducts,gently massage along the length of the nose a few times with a little pressure,.not too hard.This will unclog the tear duct.
My son had this problem until he had to have surgery which consisted of the doctors putting a metal wire down his tears ducts to push out the substance that was clogging it.Good luck.
If the lining of her eye is red or a dark pink it could be pink eye but that usually happens in one eye.

It's possible she may have pink eye. In any case, I would at least call your doctor for advice. They might want to see her. For now, when she wakes up you can get a washcloth and warm water and gently wash the area to get the stuff off, try not to touch it as pinkeye is contagious. When my kids have crusty eyes I wash them off and put neosporin around their eyes, but I also have a friend who's husband is a doctor and she says they don't to anything when their kids have it; they just let it run its course. But for the first time I would call the doctor and have them diagnose. Good luck.

Try boiling cammomill tea (not sure of the spelling). Make sure u cool it off were it's just warm not to burn baby and with a cotton ball damp it with the tea and clean the babies eyes.
Trust me it works..I did it with my 3mth old baby and my older child when he was a baby too. Do it about 3 times a day..Also, make sure you wash ur hands b/f and after..

Might be allergies - but could also be an infection which would require a prescription, antibiotic eye drops - call the doctor.

She probably needs antibiotics and take a warm washcloth and wipe it away from her eyes you know not at the corners but in the other direction and do that as often as necessary

I would take her to the doctor. My girls would get goopy eyes anytime that they had a sinus infections.
