While, I prefer eggs, knowing how some gamers are, I can understand why live birth may be more palatable to those who share a table with a walking gaming horror story.

Assuming you want to keep their 4e lore intact, they're egg-layers; their entry in Wizards Presents: Races & Classes explicitly calls them oviparous, and Ecology of the Dragonborn in Dragon Magazine #365 states that they hatch from eggs and are nursed on their mother's milk for the few months it takes for their teeth to come in.

In 3rd edition you have to perform a special mission and ritual to bahamut in order to reincarnate as a Dragonborn. Kids today can create a DB just as easy at lvl 1.... Pffff
Edit: you reincarnate from an egg at the same age you were. You could even be a halfling Dragonborn... If you proof you are worth

Bah, kids today with their new-fangled "ritual to bahamut" nonsense. When I were a lad we only had dual-wielding drow ranger clones to establish our special snowflakiness. And we were happy in those days, let me tell you!

OK. I was going to pop in and say "marsupials" but [MENTION=2]Piratecat[/MENTION] beat me to it. So, I'll give an honest answer. Note: This is all me not caring about canon and just going with what works, for me.
Dragonborn are of the humanoid type, but biologically* of the dragon class (much like lizardfolk are humanoids of the reptile class). The dragon class doesn't exist on Earth, but is a peer of mammal, reptile, etc. and combines traits of both mammals and reptiles. Notable characteristics include warm-bloodedness, egg-laying, and having both hair and scales. Though there may be outliers, they do not nurse their young or have mammaries or mammary-like structures.
* Note: I'm not a biology expert. I don't actually care about getting the details right, just close enough to move on with playing a game.

Also in the 4E-based comic, one of the Dragonborn guards makes a comment about them coming from eggs. I think the idea is that Dragonborn, like tieflings, are magical humanoids whose biology doesn't necessarily make sense to IRL.
Personally, I don't care what anyone does at their own table with Dragonborn, lizards? Cold-blooded? Eggs? Nursing? Breasts? Don't really care, playing dragon-folk is cool under almost any condition in my book.
