Since you lawn is newly sodded, I wouldn't mow it too low. I would shoot for 2.5" tall. This is a good height and looks good mowed with a rotary mower. I would only consider heights of 1" or less if you have hybrid Bermudagrass and you have a reel mower. A rule of thumb is if you start seeing seed heads appearing its a good time to mow the lawn. Here is a
Bermudagrass guide that should be helpful.
