Reflux or CMPA in 4 week old?

DD is 4 weeks and a bit of a spit up baby. We are EBF and she spits up after maybe 2-3 feeds per day, not a lot but enough that I notice. This is worse if I lay her flat immediately after a feed and don’t burp her. Sometimes she also seems to struggle for a poo and is quite content once it’s come out. I’ve found it helps to hold her upright for about 10-15 min before laying her in bassinet at night. Usually she sleeps well (3 hour stretch overnight) but occasionally is grumbly and is up after an hour or so. But she’s never cried nonstop or been unable to settle as a few friends with reflux babies experienced.

My older DC never spit up or had windy tummy, but does have food allergies and thought to have had CMPA due to eczema (though we later learned this was other peanut allergies once he was old enough for testing). It sure if I should try to eliminate dairy or if this is normal for babies? Health visitor said to try infacol.
