Another New Lawn Question

Hello all,
I am trying to grow a new tall fescue lawn. We seeded it last fall with
less than satisfactory results. We ended up with a lot of bare spots
and grass that did not come up at all. We planted late (Oct1) gambled,
and lost.
I had a professional lawn care company come overseed it this spring with
the machine that plants the seed in the ground. That was exactly two
weeks ago. I'm getting a lot of new growth coming up now, which is good.
My question is, once most or all the seed is germinated, how much should
I water? I had been watering 4X a day to keep the seed bed damp at all
times as instructed by the lawncare company. I have a sprinkler system,
so watering is no problem.
I know I should cut back on the water once the grass sprouts, but am not
sure by how much. I don't want to give the grass that I do have a
fungus or disease by watering too much.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
J.A. Michel
