At 5 weeks you should have just recently moved from 3x daily watering to daily. Not knowing what part of the country you’re in I’m going to assume it’s been either dry and rather warm, or wet and rather warm.
I’m also going to assume the ground was properly prepped before laying with good quality soil and some fertiliser so it should be lacking for nutrients, which leaves heat, water, and maybe cutting a bit low after its gone gangbusters.
You shouldn’t need to aerate this early on, it’s brand new. Also, any time you do aerate, I’d go with a garden fork instead. You’ll get much deeper holes than a kitchen fork, they’re useless for anything other than maybe weeds 😆

Should you aerate with a kitchen fork?
Yeah sure do that. Talk to you next year
