Dolphins give live birth.
Dolphins are mammals so they have live birth. However certain mammals such as the platypus can lay eggs but it's still considered a mammal because it has the same characteristics.
Mammal=live birth
Dolphins do not lay eggs, like birds do. Dolphins are mammals, so they give birth to a live baby dolphin. A mother dolphin gives birth in the water, and her baby is called a "calf." It takes about twelve months for it to be born.

Yes.

1. The bottle-nose dolphin is a marine mammal that gives birth to live young 'pups', and feeds them with milk by suckling.

2. The dolphin fish is a medium-size ocean fish that looks as if it swam full speed into a brick wall, and smushed its nose until it looks flat. It is blue on top and yellow on the bottom, and greenish in between. It lays eggs which later hatch tiny young fish.
