Newly seeded lawn: when should I do the first mowing?

Hi,
I read lots of articles about when I should mow my newly seeded lawn but I'm still not sure.
It's been 12 days since I seeded, the lawn is still patchy, and the seedlings are 1,5 inches tall in some places (and very fragile), while in other places they are stronger, about 3 inches tall.
My lawnmower's highest settings is ~2,5-3 inches (I bought a brand new blade to make sure it's sharp). Recommended mowing height of my grass: 1,5-2,5 inches.
How much longer should I wait before mowing? I don't want to mow too early or too late. Should I bag or mulch the clippings?
Thanks in advance!
