Since new grass roots are sensitive to fertilizers, it isn't recommended to feed until the lawn is well established.

It is important to lay the foundation of the lawn with plenty of rich topsoil to provide nutrients until it is established.

As for now, the spots are likely caused by over, or underwatering. This article will help you to care for newly laid sod:
