Coventry confirmed their victory at Nottingham Forest before the international break, scoring four goals in the top flight for the first time since a 4-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in May 2000.
Those around the Sky Blues training ground at Ryton believe that if they are competitive in the next seven games they will have a platform to survive.
A trip to Tottenham and the visit of Fulham – both winless – will follow, with games against Sunderland, Everton, Crystal Palace, Leeds and Ipswich to take them into December.
“It’s huge and we have to use it in a positive and humble way,” said Lampard, whose side are now 14th.
“We have to be excited and I see in my eyes players who are developing quite quickly.
“A lot of players have had few minutes in the Premier League, if any minutes in the Premier League – Jack Rudoni, (Brandon) Thomas Asante, (Ephron) Mason-Clark, a lot of them.
“So it’s human nature that in the first few games we had two best teams in the league (Arsenal and Manchester City) and we had Brighton and we said: ‘hmm, it’s not easy here’.
“This (win) gives good confidence, so it’s the balance between confidence and overconfidence. But it’s great to have a model of feeling when you get a result of this level.”
It can be a defining six weeks for Lampard’s men after a resounding, if not perfect, victory over Newcastle.
Coventry’s previous home games saw them lose 1-0 to fellow promoted side Hull before a 5-0 defeat to Brighton.
Sandwiched in the middle was a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup, meaning it was imperative they found form at the CBS Arena.
“We are going to be relative underdogs in almost every game,” Lampard added. “So we have to maximize everything and be on the limit and I thought we were on the limit in many ways.
“They have to keep their feet on the ground because the next one is difficult and the one after that will be difficult.
“But we look like a team that will make it difficult for teams to come here. That’s a feeling we didn’t really get in our first few games on CBS this season.”
