Answer 1

Unless you were cheated, your lawn was probably fertilized when it was sodded.  I would wait two months from the time it was installed and use an organic fertilizer, since it's almost impossible to overdose a lawn with nutrients if you use an organic fertilizer.  If you don't use an organic fertilizer, it might be better to wait three months to be on the safe side.  Keeping it watered properly should be the main concern at the one month point.
