Your fertilizer is very high in phosphorus. Follow instructions carefully; phosphorus can build up in the soil and reach harmful levels. If your daffodils seem to be struggling, add a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer at the end of blooms. Blood meal and composted manure are 2 examples. The following article has more information on when to fertilize.
