My guess would be that they would be classified as mammals, given their humanoid appearance.

Do mermaids breastfeed?

Most artwork depicting mermaids show them to have breasts. This would lead to the conclusion that without a doubt mermaids are mammals and therefore nurse their offspring. Generally it seems that they are modest about showing their breasts and wear a brassier of sorts made of seashells. While I would think that this would be very uncomfortable, this does appear to be their common practice. So just as dolphins and humans are mammals and the females of these species produce milk for their young, mermaids would do the same for their children.
