Crab grass emergence after seeding

Hi All!

We just replanted our front yard of grass, but didn't do anything to prevent the emergence of crab grass (which appeared literally overnight). It is everywhere and too numerous to pick by hand

We have sprouts from the regular grass which are about 1.5 inches tall - but nowhere near established and have not been cut yet.

What should I do? Is there a post-emergence killer than won't harm my new seed. Do I wait till after the lawn is more established and then kill the grass? Or do I nuke the lawn and start again?

Any suggestions would be welcome!
