Baby is 1 week old & reached birth wt of 7 lbs 14oz. milk production established. start on demand feeding? should wake at all during night or day ?

Yes: With your breast milk in and weight back up to birth weight, you have the luxury of opting for a more on demand feeding regimen if things continue to be as successful as you describe. If you become engorged, you may want to wake your infant up to let down the supply (or you could pump-express and save too). Congrats on your achievements!
