Can we catch them? Incense them? Lure them? Will they spawn?

Source: iMore

No. No. No. Sadly, no. Pokémon Go isn't making the new Gen 2 babies available to catch, at least not yet. That means they won't spawn either randomly or at PokéStops, and they won't show up for Incense or Lures.

If you want one, you have to hatch them! And that means eggs!

Which babies hatch from which Eggs?

While the Pokémon you can get from Eggs changes regularly, currently you can find baby Pokémon in the following Eggs:

5 KM Eggs

Mime Jr. (only in Europe)

7 KM Eggs

Pichu
Cleffa
Igglybuff
Togepi
Tyrogue
Smochum
Elekid

Azurill
Wynaut
Budew

Riolu
Mantyke

Can we evolve the babies?

Absolutely. In most cases, it's not a huge help, since you can catch most of the evolved forms in the wild and, even evolved, many of these species aren't super useful. But, Pokémon hatched from Eggs tend to have pretty good, if not excellent IVs. A handful of these species are also pretty useful, so it may be worth it to evolve the following:

Togepi into Togetic, then Togekiss
Magby into Magmar, then Magmortar
Elekid into Electabuzz, then Electivire
Tyrogue into Hitmontop
Riolu into Lucario
Budew into Roselia, then Roserade
