"párate" means "stand up" or "get up".
"Alto" means "stop" (it can also mean 'tall' or 'high' depending on the context).
I don't know where the word "mamela" is used for "baby bottle", but the usual word is "biberón". It's also called "tetero" in some places.

1. Parate does mean stop, in a slang sort of way.
2. Mamila is another name for a prepared baby bottle. mamar is to suckle mother's milk. Mamon is slang for a mommy's boy. It is an insult, so t try not to use it.
3. Alto does mean stop as in HALT!
In Mexico they also call the moment we stop at a traffic light an "alto".

Most of these are unique to the Spanish language and have no English translation, EXCEPT to the following: frijoles = beans arroz = rice pollo = chicken pavo = turkey rosticeria = It makes me think it's like saying rostisserie but it might be barbeque taqueria = Something to so with tacos jugo = juice agua mineral = mineral water sin hielo = no (or without) ice (when you order a drink) tomales = tamales (I never heard of tomales)

And these are correct.
Parate= stop,like the command; from the verb "parar" which means to stop.
alto=stop as well
