How to water and mow a new lawn with mixed seeds

We recently reseed the lawn with newly added loam. The seeds are a mixture of rye grass and blue grass. The reseeding was done about 10 days ago. About 4~5 days after seeding, the rye grass spouted and now the lawn is covered by grass about 3 inch long.

I know blue grass takes 2~3 weeks to germinate, my question is in this situation, should we continue watering the lawn twice a day (5 min each time) to assist the germinating of blue grass? Or should we reduce the watering frequency?

My second question is, should we mow the lawn or should we just wait for bluegrass to grow? If you suggest us to wait, what is the best time to mow?

Thanks in advance for your answer and help.
