Lawn seed & feed reccomendations

We had a lot of weeds in our lawn, so put a weed, seed and feed mix on it last week. Several patches of the lawn have gone brown/yellow and it seems like the weeds have died back a bit.

Is there anything that I can now get to feed the lawn and get it looking a bit better? We've only been in the house since December, and it's my first time having a garden and a lawn to deal with so not sure of the best course of action.
Many thanks!

You need to remove any dead material (lightly rake it out or dig it up) and give your lawn a light mow, with the blades on a high setting so you don't take too much off the grass. If you've got any bare patches, use a lawn repair kit. The miracle-gro one is pretty good if I remember correctly. Give your lawn another treatment in the autumn. Don't feed the lawn too much or you'll scorch it or be mowing every day. Good luck!
