They can lay up to 60,000 eggs, which is why they are an invasive species. The average amount though is usually about 20,000. Also, just to clarify, toads don't have babies, they lay eggs, being oviparous. These eggs will hatch into tadpoles that will metamorphose into froglets.

First off, toads do not get pregnant. They lay eggs and the male fertilizes them externally. A female toad may have hundreds of eggs ripe and ready to lay but none will be viable if she is alone. The toad, full of eggs, is said to be "gravid" from Latin, meaning heavy (with eggs). The fertilized eggs will develop into tadpoles so the correct one-word answer is "NONE".

By eggs. All frogs and toads babies are born by eggs. They look like little bubbles with a tiny spot of brown which is the tadpole (young frog/toad).
